Inspiration for the Spirit is all about love—not only romantic love; but also love for our fellow man; loving life and its many wonders; and, most importantly, the love of self that comes when you are truly content with the person you are.
Inner peace is the key to happiness.
When we are at peace with ourselves, love and happiness radiate from within and touch every phase of our lives. We have better relationships, more successful careers, greater satisfaction and overall pleasure, and are able to cope more easily with the wicked curves life sometimes throws.
We all know about those wicked curves. They are the detours—the disappointments, drama, and heartache—that knock us down, bring us to our knees, and sometimes keep us there, praying for courage and guidance.
It is oftentimes during our darkest moments that we reach out for inspiration to help see us through.
“Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp; but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” —Nathanial Hawthorne
Inspiration for the Spirit offers a quiet refuge for thoughtful reflection and endless inspiration to help you rediscover your true self, realize your value, appreciate life, accept what is, cope, heal, grow, and cultivate a better self-awareness, confidence, and strength.

Poems, quotes, and other words of wisdom, thought-provoking essays, beautiful photos, and awesome artwork fill the pages of this website; and, yes, you will find quite a few poems and pages dealing with romantic love. Romantic love, at its finest, is pure bliss—our spirits soar when we are in love. It is, after all, a universal human yearning to have a soul mate. But the truth is . . . to enjoy healthy relationships, romantic or otherwise, and life in general you need to feel good about yourself.
Inspiration for the Spirit is not a definitive source for any specific subject or genre; its content is merely meant to spark your interest and imagination and act as a starting point for your own personal journey inward.
We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other. It is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parentheses in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other, and this moment will have been worthwhile. —Deepak Chopra
I don’t have all the answers, but I do know that we all have the power within ourselves to bring about positive change in our lives. Inspiration for the Spirit stands as a testament to the positive changes I was able to make. I hope you, too, find inspiration for hope, happiness, peace, and love within.
Love and peace always,
