My novel, Life in Harmony, (Available Tuesday 12/1/15) is a book that I hope inspires. With the creation of Pangloss Sea Books, I was inspired to focus this blog (along with Twitter and Facebook) on stories that inspire. In looking at the other stories I am working on, there is a consistent theme of hope, faith and redemption in them. I appreciate stories that have a very positive uplifting ending. I should preface that it doesn’t always have to have a completely happy ending but it should be a story that gives hope or an inspirational message.
In the movie, Silver Lining Playbook, Pat (Bradley Cooper) is upset by the ending to Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms.” He rationalizes that life is hard enough as it is. “Can’t you have a happy ending?”
Too often in our modern world we are reminded of news that takes us away from inspiration. Tragedy befalls the news daily with reminders of what isn’t working in the world. Lately, social media seems clogged with hate-filled rhetoric and frankly who wants to read that after a long day of work? Not me!
When I began to think of how I would use this website and social media channels, I made a commitment to seek out stories that inspire. Whether it is something that I have written or something I read or watched, I plan on sharing it here. I want this to be a place where you can come and find something filled with hope, something that inspires or something that just balances out the negative in your life.
Life is too short to sweat the negative stuff…why not look to hope in filling that void.
Here’s a sample of what types of stories I plan on sharing here:
This story appeared this morning on “CBS This Morning” in a piece by Steve Hartman.
