Super Freak (Super Organized Freak, That Is)

Okay I’ll admit it! One of my weaknesses is that I can get a tad bit disorganized every once in awhile, especially when inspiration hits. I know it can get rather confusing here so I’ve already rearranged things over at my other blog not2shabby (creating a search box for easy searching and a drop down archives list to keep things neat) and for you 2inspired readers, I’m also getting organized just for you.

This means that new readers can go straight to this post for information on specific topics and you oldie, but goodies can search for posts you may have missed. This helps me get organized and helps you find what you need. It’s a win-win situation in all right? *P.S. I’m open to hearing your ideas for how to get 2inspired in better shape. Feel free to email me or leave a comment below with your suggestions.

WARNING: Brace yourself for the onslaught of links ahead!

TGIFriday's Inspiring Links

How about ending a long week with fun, inspiring links to get you motivated for the next week?

Inspiring News Sites.

You might look down on me when I tell you that I skip the evening news every night. For me it’s a personal decision. I cringe when I hear someone’s been murdered, or the economy’s not doing well, or a host of other negative things the media wants to report that I have no control over. Why not read about the wonderful things going on in the world instead?

Here are a few sites that will get you started:

For inspirational stories, positive & good news such as the story about how rescued dieting hedgehogs were returned to the wild, turn to Optimist World.

For real happy news, like Suze Orman speaking about how better health can lead to better finances, turn to Happy News.

For positive human interest stories like how one woman helped her neighbor by donating her kidney, turn to the Good News Gazette.

For good news now, like stories on how power ball winners of $200,000 tipped the clerk $740 as a thank you, check out GNN.

And here are a few of my favorite inspiring stories right here at 2inspired:

Successful Dreamer Bonnie St. John talked to me about overcoming abuse, divorce and disability and rising above them to eventually winning an Olympic silver and bronze medal, becoming a well-known author and motivational speaker.

I still also love these past inspiring links and go to them regularly when I’m in dire need of inspiration.

These dogs from Greece broke my heart and continues to weigh on me. I still think about them every once in awhile, wondering if they’re okay. While I have yet to find an organization to donate to, I did find a few sites and would be wonderful if anyone knows of organizations that do so.

I’ll leave you with one last post. This one’s on the various stages of dreaming. What stage are you on?

Inspiring Links

I love to read about others inspiring stories and if you’ve found your way here, there’s a good chance you like reading them too. That’s why I decided to compile a list of sites that feature some of the best in heart warming, happy stories. It’ll lift you up during tough times and inspire you to spread your own joy in good. Happy Friday you all!

  • Guideposts: The people who publish Guideposts magazine continue to enlighten, inspire and give us the kind of stories that makes you want to do good and live better. Their stories motivate us through tough times and instill courage to help people to face every day challenges in their life.
  • Tonic: I recently found this site by chance and am so lucky I did! It’s the feel good news site that I’ve been waiting for. Tonic brings attention to stories that often go unnoticed like the bride who decided after being jilted at the altar, to donate her wedding reception hall. The lucky partiers? A bunch of surprised and happy senior citizens. Isn’t that a news story worth reporting?
  • Beliefnet.com: Okay, I admit it. I too, need inspiration. There are times when the going gets tough and when the tough gets going, I go to this site. Their gorgeous slideshows like, “10 Ways to Handle Change,” have helped lift my spirits and become a more positive person.
  • Oprah.com: How could I forget Oprah? Her shows never fail to inspire me. But her website also provides inspiration after the show is over. Articles like, “Become the Person You were Meant to Be: Where to Start,” has given me the courage to pursue my passions.

This is just a few of the sites that help inspire me. Do you have any favorites you’d like to share? I’d love to add them to my list!
