December 2011

  • The Year of Living Inspirationally

    Wow, what a year, one of those years that seemed to last forever but was over before it started. Does that make sense? Not really. But that’s the way it feels.

  • Sharing Inspiration with Those in Need

    Imagine your child or grandchild waking up in a hospital room alone on Christmas morning.

  • The Top 10 Inspirational Stories of 2011

    Everybody loves end-of-year lists, me included. So once again, our editors chose the 10 most inspirational stories that appeared in Guideposts in the past year.

    It wasn’t easy. We published literally hundreds of stories this year. Still, some linger in our memories. The story I loved most in 2011 was ...

    Wait! I can’t do that! Really, how can I have a favorite?

  • My Inspiring Friends

    You never know who you are going to meet in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Today, in fact, I met several inspiring celebrities.

    Have any of you ridden in a New York City cab lately? For a couple of years now, all the cabs have been outfitted with interactive TVs that give you news, sports, weather, entertainment and, naturally, commercials (to pay for all those new TVs).

  • The Road to Inspiration

    New York, Portland, Atlanta, Nashville, Jacksonville, Birmingham, New York, Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, New York…..

    It’s December, and I feel like I haven’t had a chance to catch my breath all 2011; it’s been that sort of year. When I agreed to work on a book for Guideposts a few years ago I knew the writing would take a lot out of me, particularly writing a book as personal and self-revealing as mine. But nobody really explained the promoting-the-book part. The part where I turn into a ping-pong ball.
