    Great question, Danielle.

    Ideas matter. They change lives and lift people and improve conditions or they do the very opposite. I’m inspired to write because I’m inspired by the prospect of helping change the lives of those living somewhere south of their potential. I’m also inspired by the art and craft of writing. I love the creative outlet writing is for me. So when you combine the creative side of writing with the meaning and purpose side of helping others live with more courage, wisdom and happiness, I’m hooked, driven and inspired to keep at it.

    I do a lot of writing about values and character because I think such are the building blocks of a happy and meaningful life. We can pursue all kinds of goals and dreams, but if at the end of the day, the person in the mirror isn’t a very decent person, we’ll feel it deep down in our bones. Happiness will lack some of its luster, or be absent altogether and life will be relatively stale.

    Who we are matters so terribly much. And yet so often we seem to get around to working on the person at the core less often than all the outside trappings. So I appreciate the work your doing learning to live a more values-based life.

    I’ve told the story of my dad’s cancer and how that cancer reminded me of moral or character cancers that ravage our lives here. Now I’m going to follow your link over to see what you’re saying about the topic, Bobbi. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here.
