Taking Inspiration Global is the title of my interview with Inspire TV founder Rainer Dunkel.  He followed his passion to be a catalyst for positive change.

inspire.TV is based on four prominent pillars for success:

1. industry expertise
2. a trusted reputation
3. a worldwide mission of service, and
4. accessibility to the masses 

Between the Folds reveals the beauty in unexpected places – like a sheet of paper. What the 10 artists in this film are able to do will leave you speechless. They have abandoned careers and scoffed at hard-earned graduate degrees-all to forge unconventional lives as modern day paper folders. Beauty is everywhere, but we need each other as beholders to share it. 

Happy on Purpose

by

Diana Fletcher

Diana’s book is so in line with my soul’s code work. In an accessible, light, inspiring format Diana invites each of us to choose happiness daily.  She says, “When you take the time to think about being happy and make the choice to be happy, you gain strength.

You build fortitude, you achieve self-assurance and confidence, and you come out whole. You are ready to take on challenges and to claim your power.” One entry per day is all it takes to get started. You can be happy on purpose!
