Find Inspirational Stories on the Web

I have spent a good amount of my time researching stories that offer listeners something more than simply a clever plot. Something that listeners can take away from the story. Call it a message. Perhaps it gives a hint of direction. It might even state a moral. The name one might give to this ephemeral quality is not as important as the fact that the stories I tell actually possess it.
As a child I found deep meaning in inspirational stories. I heard similar stories from my mother and my grandfather. Occasionally a teacher would tell a story that meant a great deal to me. I noticed that stories with a message stuck in my memory. The messages stuck in the memory, too. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Honesty is the best policy. Take time to smell the flowers. Community giving is part of community living. I am who I am because of those messages.
I find myself using stories I heard long ago when I perform today. They have an ageless quality. The messages of long ago still have merit in the world today.
Whats so important about inspirational stories? For one thing, we experience a deluge of information and news on a daily basis. Second, the lives we live give us no breathing space to reflect. In the absence of time and reflection, we have precious little available insight to bring to current affairs. Here is the place for inspirational stories. A listener can mull over inspirational stories. They give us something to consider. Something that points us a bit closer to our "true north." Something that gives us perspective.

I am even inspired by the inspirational stories I tell!
We live in a complex, fast moving world. As we head on down the highway of life, we can all use a little direction to guide us. Inspirational stories help keep us on the road. Think of them as your own personal GPS! My recordings contain a wealth of inspirational stories. Listen for yourself!
