Introducing... "A Little Dose of Inspiration"

Ever since I was a little girl I've LOVED the "Feel Good" genre....movies...books...TV shows...music...even commercials.  Do you remember the old Folger's commercial about the brother that comes home from West Africa for Christmas?  If you haven't seen it check it out here.  Every time I watch it I tear up a little...and I don't even drink coffee!   What gets me the most though...is when I hear inspiring stories of ordinary people doing simple things to try and make the world a better place.  I wanted the opportunity to share some of their stories...to highlight those every day heroes.  You'll find their stories here.

I also believe there is a special kind of inspiration and magic that comes from family and friends gathered together for good food.  Some of my favorite memories growing up involve my family gathered around the dinner table.  I wanted the opportunity to share some of my favorite recipes with you and hope they will inspire you to gather your friends and family, enjoy some great food, and create some lasting memories.

Lastly, I believe we are never too old to try something new.  I am constantly inspired by my friends and family who are just naturally good at things...and maybe a little jealous.  :)  But I have learned that it isn't as much about being "good" at a certain skill, as it is about expanding our interests and having the courage to try new things.  I have learned I am happier when I take the time to create something...even when it fails miserably!  So here you will also find some ideas to help inspire you to create something new in your life.
