Inspiration for the Spirit

A lovely place to wander for poetry and inspiration to soothe the soul

Sign My Guestbook

guestbook

lettersOne of the first things you discover when you put an inspirational website online, is that a lot of people will write to you. Many of the letters I receive are complimentary, praising the website and its content. Some are more specific, mentioning a section of the site or a poem the writer especially likes. Still others are intensely raw and personal from people who feel comfortable enough to confide and share their private thoughts and feelings. Mail is always welcome. I feel fortunate that there are so many interesting individuals who not only visit Inspiration for the Spirit, but also take the time to write.

Peace and Love always,
Patricia

    Dear Patricia, congratulations for this beautiful and inspiring website!

    I live in Italy but I’m deeply passionate of Lakota and First Nations peoples. Thank you so much for honoring and respecting them in your pages.

    I’ll be back on your website again and again, thank you so much for sharing!

      Love your comment! It comes at a perfect time. Skies here are gray, threatening severe thunder storms. Your encouraging words are like sunlight streaming through the dark clouds. Thanks for that.

    Thank you for your contribution to the light, love and creativity in our world. I found you through a beautiful lady who lives almost 8000 miles away with whom I share an email thread in 12-step recovery. Every encouraging word helps me to be freed from the darkness of the soul where I used to hang out.

    Love,
    Amy

    Beautiful site and great information. The artwork is amazing as well. I just found out I am part Cree and wish I had my earlier life to learn more of the culture, but better late than never.

      Hi Laura, Thanks for visiting and leaving your kind comment. I have no Native American blood in me, but I do feel a strong spiritual connection. That connection was strengthened after a road trip through Wyoming and South Dakota a while back. When time permits, I hope to write about it.
