“I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.”

~ Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Every once in a while, you create something that not only inspires you, but you hope will inspire others.  When I was invited to write an Inspiration for the Inspire Me Today website, I was asked to think about what I would say if I had to leave a message to the world in 500 words or less! I thought to myself, “I can do this! I have so much to share!” Well, I must have written at least 5 different drafts and several revisions of each one!  Okay… Maybe this wasn’t as easy a writing task as I’d thought.

After all, this was going to go down in history (or at least in an online archive, somewhere) as my message to the world.

Just how was I supposed to select one message that captured my biggest lesson, my deepest beliefs, and the difference I want to make for people in 500 words or less?  What could I say?

Well, after writing and revising several drafts, I finally hit “Submit” and sent in my Inspiration.  The article was accepted and published on May 2^nd, and I received wonderful feedback about it.  Then, yesterday, I received a wonderful surprise!  They liked my article so much, they chose to share it on the Care2.com, which has over 22,000,000 subscribers!  Over 22,000,000 lives may be touched my message!

Are there other messages I’d like to leave behind – about the power of love, the freedom of forgiveness, the transformational practice of gratitude, the gift of hope, the joy that it is to live a life where we have the power to create our own miracles, and so many more messages I have bubbling inside of me just waiting to be shared with the world?   Absolutely!

But, for now, this is my message – my Inspiration – and I share it with all of my love, from my heart to yours.
