Desire to Inspire: A Sparkling Giveaway

I am thrilled, honored, and humbled to announce I am on the roster of twenty contributors to Desire to Inspire: Using Creative Passion to Transform the World by Christine Mason Miller. In Desire to Inspire, readers will be introduced to twenty extraordinary women – writers, artists and entrepreneurs – all of whom share a unique example of how they create a meaningful life and, in turn, make a positive impact on the world. The stories and examples explore the roots of their desire to inspire and how they manage to pursue their passions in the midst of all the twists and turns life has given them. In addition to a beautiful collection of quotes, stories, and anecdotes, readers are given substantive, encouraging exercises aimed at supporting their own journey towards a meaningful, mindful life. It will be available December 20th through Amazon and you can pre-order your copy today!
To be a part of Christine’s second book project is something I could never have imagined when I began A Beautiful Ripple Effect. The title of my blog is taken from Christine’s first book, Ordinary Sparkling Moments. This book was the catalyst for a multitude of positive changes in my life. I cannot begin to envision what the impact of this second book will be. However, I do know, it will be powerful.
To celebrate the release of her new book, Christine is generously giving away a gorgeous wall art piece to one recipient.

Inspire!
I’d hang it in the “other bedroom” which I am in the process of turning into my art/craft/meditation room.
Inspire! Always.
INSPIRE! :-)
I’d hang all three by my home “workstation” – in hopes it would inspire me to push harder to make my dreams of a home based business a reality!
INSPIRE! I think I would put my new wall art by the door, so it could be a good reminder every time I leave!
INSPIRE!
I would put my new wall art beside the door inside my bedroom so that when I wake up, it’ll be the first thing I’ll see, most likely.
INSPIRE! I would maybe put the new wall art in my foyer or in my bedroom .. wonderful things to see as I wake up!
INSPIRE! I would it next to my picture window, as a reminder to give as much as I take in…

I am the most happy when I manage to inspire someone with my writing, my art, my small contribution to this seemingly large world; and I’m so grateful to be able to inspire others, especially because so many people around here (including you) inspire me.
The wall art is just lovely, and if I win, I’d hang it near my bed, somewhere next to my inspiration board.
you blog sure INSPIRE-s me :)
and i would prob put one in a plate stand next to my bed about just fly :)

INSPIRE – Your blog has changed my life and inspires me on a regular basis. I pass on any morsels to others in my world! Thank you! If I won I would hang it on the wall by my desk. I’m a university librarian and in this way I could not only have it as a daily inspiration to myself, but to those that enter my office as well!
Inspire :)
Inspire!
inspire. :)
What a lovely way to INSPIRE others. Now I will have to look up her first book too. I would place the art in my office where it can serve as a reminder of what can be.
I can’t completely decide on where I’d like to hang it.
One option is by my bed, so when I’m struggling through my day I don’t get so discouraged if I have to return there to nap from time to time.
Another option is to hang it by my bathroom mirror so when I scare myself by how pale I look, I’ll remember that my joy and inspiration is keeping me going.
Still another option is to hang it next to my coat and hat so on days when it’s freezing cold and I know I need to go outside, I’ll remember to use my time to collect inspiration from my surroundings.
And finally I could hang it next to the storyboard of my novel to remind me to keep tossing pebbles into the world.
And thank you Carolyn, you INSPIRE(!) me and many others.
