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

    Faery Fine Greetings Patricia,

    I just wanted to say that I have a most magical time at your site today. . .and in the spirit of love that you have created your site with, I leave you with a parting wish:

    “I come to bring you some cheer,
    I hope it lasts throughout the year.
    You are so special so I leave you love,
    As below, so above!”

    Hello Patricia,
    Your site is so calm and soothing. I especially enjoyed the Still Waters in your Reflections section. I am but a shell unless I can be near the lake. It lifts my spirits and gives me energy.
    Thank you for sharing with us.
    Blessings.

    I was thinking about you and thought I’d drop you a line. Your website looks great as ever. I’m amazed at all that you’ve added. Loved “Senses Affected.”  Like the smell of sour milk or funeral flowers. Wow, very powerful imagery and sensory. Take care.

    Hi, I was having a bad day, and trying to work on my website when I stumbled across yours. It is so beautiful and inspiring. My website is under construction. I’m trying to make it a peaceful place, but I sometimes get discouraged. Anyway, I’m glad I found your beautiful place. I think I will visit often.
