"Live Inspired" by Michelle Sedas (You could win a copy of this wonderful book!)

What does living an inspired life mean to you? This question made me sit down and really reflect on what an inspired life looks like. And what it means to LIVE it.

You might be wondering what caused me to have this question in the first place. So, I’ll tell you. A friend of mine named Michelle Sedas just recently released a book titled: “Live Inspired.” And she graciously sent me a copy to enjoy.

This book is a compilation of people’s thoughts and feelings on what it means to live an inspired life. The collection of responses really helped me appreciate more fully the gift of life and the moments we have to live, love, laugh and learn!

Below are a few excerpts from the book –

{Awaken}

“Lift your head when you go outside and remember that if you can feel the sun on your face or the rain gets you wet or you are cold, then you are alive … and that’s a great feeling!”
~Sherrie Carroll

{Listen}

“Living inspired is a call to rise above the mundane. It’s going forward and reaching out. It’s having ears to hear what is being said in the heavenlies and grabbing hold of it for today.”
~Eve Kline Evans

I like how Michelle blends the pictures and quotes on each page to create a beautiful collection of art and inspiration. It is also a workbook (with space to write) so as you read the pages, you can jot down thoughts and impressions of your own as you journey to what living inspired means to you.

Feel free to visit Michelle online via her website at: http://www.michellesedas.com/

PS: If you would like a chance to win a copy of LIVE Inspired … simply leave a comment and I’ll draw a winner from all the responses.

Live inspired to me means – To love what I do with the people I love and make a difference along the way!

{The WRITE Stuff}

Band of Writers ... Book Beginnings Writer's Group!

At the end of summer, I started a writer's group by posting up an invite on Craigs list ... I found some really fun ladies who wanted to join a group of writers. We meet once a month and share our stuff. It's been so motivating and helpful to have a writing deadline and audience. We've got some great stuff flying off the pages! My latest writing project is inspirational/gift and I'm really excited to get it finished and off to a potential publishing house.

Cheers to writing ... If you'd like more info on how to start your own book beginning group (it's easy and fun) - let me know! We are finding that 6 members is a good managable number. Feel free to visit the author beginning blog for author interviews and writing inspiration:

If you do start a writing group - please let me know and we'll hook you into our website! I'd love to see the book beginnings groups start up all over!
