word o'month

courage:

 

  • bravery.

  • strength in the face of danger, fear, grief, pain and other challenges.

  • acting on one's belief despite danger or disapproval.

  • standing up for yourself.

  • letting go of the familiar.

  • trying new things.

When we show up, we are courageous. It's then that we can face unexpected setbacks, threats, and danger. 

That way we face the truth head on, and accept it or fight it. 

We become more resilient and grow stronger knowing that we faced our fear and the sky didn't fall, and it didn't defeat us. 

Some fears are imaginary, but they feel like a real threat. From scary movies, flying, rejection by others, animals, spiders, the unseen depths of the ocean, gun violence, even the basement. There are plenty of imaginary fears.

Don't cower in a corner, face your fears to build inner strength. Be courageous!

"The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself."  FDR

WELCOME

Inspiredprints likes new beginnings!

Here you can find inspiration on

themes of wellness, growth,

loss, grief, healing, 

connection, community,

and resilience.

 

2024 was a hectic year of change for me.

two BIG things happened:

I finished writing my first full manuscript!

I downsized and moved to a new city!

So I'm feeling the new beginnings now for sure.

And I like it. But both of those things took time away from

being able to prioritize writing my blog posts.

I'm finishing up developmental edits, revisions, and rewrites

on my manuscript, which is my priority to complete.

So once those are done - it will be soon! I'll be blogging again. And, with the revisions and rewrites it became clear that I can have a book 2 (now half-written) to work on this year too.

The mission of the blog post writings

is
"To inspire change, healing, and connection on

your journey to wellness."

And I'll add a video here and there with tips on wellness,

writing projects, and book releases.

You can find samples of my Writings here

Exciting News!
*Watch for the upcoming
Children's Chapter Book:

Meet Lefty Lucy:
A left-handed girl
in a right-handed world

Being left-handed can present some uncommon problems!


"It's okay to be different"

"That which makes you
different makes you special."




A big part of my life purpose
is helping young people.

The inspo behind my kids books:
"To inspire a love of reading and connection with fictional characters
as they grow up. 
To illustrate the importance of
acceptance, friends & family,
imagination, and self-esteem"
We all experience growing pains and milestones during childhood, and the characters in the stories do too,
they are relatable!


psst ... wanna know a secret?
I'll use a pen name for my children's books!

GOOD THINGS
TAKE TIME

" New Beginnings are often disguised as painful endings. "
                   - Lao Tsu

 

"We're always in the process

of becoming"

"Be the Change
you wish to see
in the world."
-Gandhi



Life deals us wake-up calls
in time to shift our perspective;
to put us on track to find new purpose and satisfaction.
Trust the Process 

 

The flower doesn't dream of the bee.

It blossoms and the bee comes.

When you become peaceful, you radiate peace to others. This is how you

change the world.
