Reflections, thoughts, and images to enrich everyday living. Be stirred by meaningfulness in your day-to-day life. Envision a new awareness of gifts of nature. Treat others with kindness and a smile. Let this be the start to being simply inspired.

This book began by a walk on the beach and the discovery of colorful sea glass at my fingertips – followed by discussion and appreciation of something so simple, yet filled with enlightenment.

An 11-day cross-country hiking trip with my son brought nature back into my vision with a rekindled appreciation. A close encounter with a prairie rattlesnake made me grateful to be alive.

Inspiration and Images

This book is meant to be an inspiration for you to walk on the beach, get outside, play with your kids/grandkids, enjoy your friends, see the world and live life to the fullest. Images were taken from high up on a mountaintop in Montana to a country road in Pennsylvania, from across the world to Belize and in my backyard. With thanks to Mother Nature, I write this book. May these reflections and images inspire you each and every day.
