Best Friends Forever or Not???? - Nancy Shields
Writer and diarist, born in Paris, Anais Nin says it best when it comes to friends. " Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born . " All of us have been a girlfriend at one time or another; girlfriends have... ( added 20 days 1 hour ago.)

Is There Renewed Life After A Crisis - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
I thank God for strong, independent parents who taught me to live my life as they did. They were honest, responsible, funny, serious, spiritual, and worked hard to provide their kids with a good home life. They didn't do things for us that they thought we could do for ourselves. Their theory was... ( added 1 year 58 days ago.)

Why Not Make A Peaceful Retreat Within Your Home - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
One of the most uplifting material things we can do for ourselves and our families, is to make our home feel comfortable, and reflective of the things we love and care about. We can spend thousands of dollars and buy out some of the local stores, or we can use our heads, and reinvent the rooms... ( added 1 year 92 days ago.)

Too Absorbed On The Inside - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
I never have known quite for sure, if there are those who think, and therefore, act, correctly all the time, and then, those who don't. I have been the latter much of my life, by the way. I had a combination of biology and being in a very rocky, intense relationship with my father. Blame takes... ( added 1 year 118 days ago.)

Do You Get Enough Positive Energy - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
There are so many ways we can get positive energy absorbed into our being. Stepping outside opens up a whole new atmosphere, smell, and feel. I think nature is the soother of all souls. All the worries that have I been bringing with me, have drained me and dragged me down. Inspiration is the best... ( added 276 days 11 hours ago.)

Sometimes, We Have To Tread Water Until Inspiration Returns - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
I have written many articles of inspiration and hope, peace, strength, love, and faith. I have experienced those feelings of elation and power and control over my own life. I have felt fearless and creative. I was inspired to have three children whom I love with all my heart. I was inspired to... ( added 311 days 1 hour ago.)

One’s Spirit Is Personal - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
When feeling ill, such as with the flu, we can describe our symptoms to someone else. They can relate, and we work though it. We all suffer from one ailment or another. We deal with pain. We can commiserate about our bad hips or our deteriorating knees, or our depression. What about diseases like... ( added 318 days 10 hours ago.)

I Know What I Need To Do God - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
I know I need to have Faith that whatever is in my best interest, will happen. It may not be something I can foresee, but I know God always gives me what I need, not necessarily what I ask for. Each traumatic experience unravels a strength in me I never knew I possessed. The calming of the soul... ( added 331 days 19 hours ago.)

Okay God, Don't fail Me Now - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
I have always been a firm believer in speaking to God at any time and in any place. It never mattered where I was, I always knew He would hear my prayers. As I became older, I started to go through all the problems and heartaches we all tend to go through. No matter what the particulars, I never... ( added 335 days 19 hours ago.)

How Can Inspiration Get Us To Make A Difference - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
For me, I believe in God, a Supreme and loving light whom created mankind and is awaiting their return. I don't really care what went on before this day, just what inspires me now and lets me know there's a reason for my existence. I don't believe it's simply to procreate. In my belief system...

Where Do You Look For A Source of Energy - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
I think all of us look towards some source of energy for our inspiration. There needs to be something that pushes us to fling the covers off, and get out of bed every morning. If not for an enjoyable job, or the responsibilities of being a stay at home mom or dad, or the need to go off to school... ( added 350 days 3 hours ago.)

What If Your Message Could Be Sent To God - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
In this technological age, we are able to contact almost anybody we want, wherever they may be. My son will be in the Air Force in Germany for three years, but I'll be able to stay in touch via e mail. What if we were able to stay in touch with our father in the same way? We could write our...

In A Wisp Of Hair, I Am There - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
Life can be a lonely place to be at times. Situations happen, and we find ourselves alone and clueless as to what to do, or how to stop feeling depressing emotions. We try all the usual things to distract us. We try to get engrossed in a good book, but find our minds wandering and not focusing.... ( added 359 days 18 hours ago.)

Where Does Our Inspiration Emanate From - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
We wake up to the sun shining in our eyes, and hear the birds chirping, and slowly come out of our sleep, and realize, it's another day. What will we do with it? There's more to 24 hours than taking a shower, getting dressed, having coffee and breakfast, and either going off to work or starting... ( added 1 year 5 days ago.)

Has God Ever Asked for Your Permission? - Avis Ward⁽⁴⁰⁾
I've stopped trying to figure it out and just accept God's will. He knows me far better than I know myself. If I were to work for someone else, I'd be what I've learned as a second shift employee. My nights have become days. Second shift is the 11PM-7AM shift. It's 4:17AM and I'm wide awake! ... ( added 1 year 6 days ago.)

From Inspiration To Heartache To Inspiration Again - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
Inspiration and heartache are two opposites that seem to hang out together. Something good happens in our lives, and then something that brings us heartache and pain. There’s a million examples. We get a new puppy that bring us so much joy, and one day, he gets hit by a car and is killed.... ( added 1 year 9 days ago.)

Can Your Faith Lift You Out Of The Depths Of Despair - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
Most of us have very strong beliefs and rigid boundaries. We believe in a God or a power greater than ourselves, and we try to be good people. We treat others the way we would want to be treated-most of the time. We sacrifice for our loved ones, and never let them know. (they know!) We try to... ( added 1 year 14 days ago.)

I Dream. You Dream. We all Dream of Big Things! - Holly Christine⁽¹⁾
Perhaps I can credit Disney movies for my belief in big dreams. As a child, I honestly believed that proper etiquette for expressing yourself was best done with a song: a song for happiness, a song for sadness, a song for every emotion. Because Sleeping Beauty sang and Cinderella danced into... ( added 1 year 20 days ago.)

Sometimes, It’s Just You And Me, God - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
There is almost nothing compared to a good friend we can confide in and bounce off ideas. They always seem to know the right things to say. Our mood can be lifted and some pressure released. Our anger calms down and we may even become more understanding of the opposing side. Friends are... ( added 1 year 26 days ago.)

There Is A Rhyme And Reason To Life - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
We are born without our control. Although there are many who believe we choose our parents, and I may be one of them, it still appears that without our approval, or choice, we are physically born. For the next eighteen years, most of us have little control over our lives as we depend on our... ( added 1 year 49 days ago.)

Is The Burden On Us - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
Faith can be proven is so many ways, but usually, not until the crisis or problem is over. While we are in the midst of something, we may believe with all our heart, mind, and soul that something good is going to happen. We weigh out all our reasons; we've been good; we've helped others; we... ( added 1 year 67 days ago.)

Inspiration And Hope, The Two Main Ingredients - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
There are times when life's problems and relationships dim our spirit and cloud our minds. We may feel like spending all of our time wrapped up in our soft cotton sheets and down comforters. Nothing seems to get us moving. Watching tv and drifting off to sleep now and then is sometimes all we can... ( added 1 year 75 days ago.)

The Light Within Can Fight The Darkness Without - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
There will always be situations and people and predicaments that are going to cause us stress and frustration. No one should be led to believe life is going to be a fair playing field. Just because my mother told me not to pull others’ hair, didn’t mean other’s parents did the... ( added 1 year 85 days ago.)

Faith Stimulus Package - Faith Walker
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence , we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” The quote above is the last line of the Declaration of Independence, the historical document... ( added 1 year 88 days ago.)

This Too Shall Pass, But What About Now - Susan Thom⁽⁴²⁾
If we believe in " this too shall pass " , then we must also believe in keeping our spirits up when times are rough. We may not have the means to take a trip to a beautiful secluded island, but there are things we can do to weather the storm. We can rely heavily on the important things, those...
