It’s been 1 year for Inspirational Perspective
This month marks the 1 year anniversary for the Inspirational Perspective blog and Facebook page. Over 365 days ago, I was scared to death to push the publish tab on my first blog, because for the 1st time in my life I would be exposing my purpose, my passion and my dream to the world. I Read More
Good friends are hard to find…
I have two unusual and controversial questions for you? Are you inspired or discouraged when you see success evident in the action or lives of your close friends? Have you ever been disappointed on the inside when hearing about the great achievements of another who you previously could closely identify with? These aren’t popular Read More

Doing What We Can, Where We Can.
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the 2011 Global Leadership Summit. The title alone would lead anyone’s thoughts towards a list of well-known, well qualified speakers, authors, politicians and leaders around the globe sharing their nuggets of wisdom with a captive audience… …and that’s basically what happened!
