A few days ago I was visited by not one, but two eagles. They came in the morning and spent the entire day with me, just outside my office window at our home in northwestern Montana. Throughout the day they traded places, but one of them was always perched in my favorite tree, looking right down on my office. I talked with friends who've lived in this area for some time, as well as friends on-line from around the world. Regardless of their individual spiritual or religious tradition, they all  strongly suggested I "pay attention" as the eagle in Native…

To me, snow is one of the most magical things in the world. I love how the world can be transformed in minutes as the planet is covered with fluffy white. The tranquility that I feel with the new fallen snow is nothing short of reverence for Mother Nature. My blog today is a bit different from normal, as I'm sharing our morning snow with you. As an added benefit you get to see the golden eagle from a few days ago also, as she returned to her perch in my favorite tree this morning. May your day be filled…

This morning I woke from a bizarre dream that seemed so real. In my dream, my husband Darryl and I went to go play miniature golf. I was given a pink ball, but the outer coating of the golf ball was peeling away rendering the ball unusable. When I asked for another ball, the woman at the counter gave me a telephone number and told me I had to call this number to get another one. Reluctantly, I called the number, only to have someone answer the phone, "Hello Zappos- How may I help you?" Obviously I was taken aback,…

The past two weeks I've really thought long and hard about my InspireMeToday.com  blog. If you've been reading it for some time, you know that I used to write much more frequently. When I started writing for the Huffington Post last April, my own blog - this blog, suffered. That's not meant to be an excuse; it's just that my focus was divided. The insight that I just had yesterday was that the two blogs are different, or at least they should be. I want this blog to be a reflection of who I am, what I'm thinking and how…

We live the majority of our lives trying to fit into boxes that our society has created. We base our education, our friendships, our careers and the vast majority of our decisions on what is "expected". What we believe may be possible gets pushed aside by what we believe is probable. But what if you didn't know any better? What if you believed in unlimited possibility? What if you were an alien that just beamed onto Earth and you didn't know the rules?  What if you didn't know the way things were done and you were free to create a…

Yesterday I was asked to send questions to Guy Laliberte, in space! Guy is at the International Space Station to promote the cause of All for Water, Water for All. For more detail, please read yesterday's post. Many of you were generous enough to help us compile a list of questions for Guy which we forwarded to him. Today, I received this audio file back from his team. It is a part of the interview where they asked Guy seven questions- and two of them were from InspireMeToday.com! Here's the audio file for you to listen to. Please keep in…

WOW, I am jumping up and down excited and had to share this with you! I just got an email from Guy Laliberte's team- from space! Guy is currently with the cosmonauts at the International Space Station. I hope you listened to my interview with Guy Laliberte, founder of Cirque du Soleil and OneDrop.org. I was one of my best interview ever. If not- check it out! Anyway, I've been invited to submit three questions to Guy WHILE HE'S IN SPACE! He'll answer the questions and we'll post the mp3 file here for you to listen to his answers. I'm…

(The past week has been very difficult as you may have guessed from my silence. The longer I waited to write, the worse the procrastination became. Please accept my apologies in advance for the tardiness of this post.) In the last blog post I wrote about the diet I was undertaking and how I needed to see some tangible results if that specific plan would work for me long term. I've been silent for two reasons. Perhaps I shared my original "solution" prematurely, as what I was doing wasn't working for me. The last thing I want to do is…
