This has become my place of contribution and connection.
My blog began as a creative outlet to explore writing and reach for more joy in my life. With over 7 years of blogging, I can say that it’s been a wonderful journey. I’ve realized that chasing happiness and joy doesn’t work for me. Instead, inspiring others and being authentic connects me to a sense of purpose and contribution. What began as a personal journey to joy has become a shared journey to love. I believe that we are meant to express love through relationships. Our journey is learning how to do that. Not always easy, but definitely worth the effort.
Choice, acceptance, and gratitude are beautiful tools for opening minds and hearts to love.
I love sharing inspirational stories and helping others to thrive. My intention is to inspire you to find your passions, follow your dreams, and spread more love in the world. When we live and make choices from love, we help transform the world. I’m choosing to help create a world of peace and love. Will you join me?
Wishing you a lifetime of blessings.
Blessings are often right where we are, once we learn to accept and appreciate our lives, including the challenges. May you feed your creative urges and open the doors to your greatness. Speaking of creative urges, you might enjoy my photography on the gallery page or my favorite videos on the inspiration page.
blessings, muse Brad
