This Little Light Of Mine
Over thousands of years, scholars, scientists and theologians have tried to define what comprises the soul. What is the source of that light? Some believe it is God while others merely associate it with energy, an as yet undefined part of our metaphysical being. Regardless of the source, it is that speck of light that defines the person we ultimately become.
Inside some the light is faint or faded, failing to be nurtured. Surely, without nurturing, the light will ultimately extinguish or become dark. However, with proper nurturing and feeding of the light, it is possible for the light to grow brighter.
Maybe it is the need to brighten the souls of others that drives us to believe the best of others. Or maybe it is the need to brighten our own souls that makes us want to help others.
When we are young, the soul burns for discovery. Yet as we age, the soul becomes more reflective of the knowledge we have acquired of ourselves and of others.

Sources of Inspiration
Among the many ways we can inspire ourselves and others are religion and/or spirituality, knowledge gained through reading books, enjoying and sharing music in its many forms, photographic and graphic images of inspirational subjects, appreciation of nature, and/or interaction with and/or teaching of others to name a few. We can even be inspired by TV and the internet through inspirational movies, spiritual programming, and inspirational websites. We can become a walking advertisement for inspiration and spirituality through the clothing we wear, bumper stickers on our cars, and other items providing inspirational and/or spiritual messages. We can inspire ourselves and others through volunteering and performing spiritual works. We can even inspire through developing creative outlets such as writing, crocheting or knitting, drawing, and/or photography that allow us to share the products of our outlets with others.
I hope that you will find a source of inspiration here with which to nurture your light or the light of others. Dare to seek out sources of inspiration and dare to share those sources with your friends and family.

Ten Things You Can Do To Inspire Someone
2. Do something kind for a complete stranger.
3. Take care of a sick friend. Even a pot of soup counts. Check out my favorite chicken soup recipe: Cure For What Ails Ya! Chickendumplinchick's Chicken Soup
4. If you are religious, take a friend to church.
5. Volunteer to help those less fortunate. American Institute of Philanthropy
6. Get off the couch and train for a marathon. You won't just help yourself--you might inspire others to do the same. Discover the joy of hiking with Take A Hike.
7. Smile at strangers even when you're having a bad day. By forcing yourself to smile, you might just convince yourself to be in a better mood and help the mood of others while you're at it.
8. Knit or crochet a shawl or blanket to donate to a nursing home.
9. Coach a little league baseball or peewee hockey team.
10. Spend quality time with the people you love who love you.

Take An Inspirational or Spiritual Journey
For me that journey would be trekking around the Northwestern U.S. I just love mountains and have always been fascinated by that part of the country. Probably because I live in the South.
