About This Page: (This is Main Street by Angie, who is working on art goals here on the blog!)
This has been a personal project to blog every day for a school year on goals and dreams. My hope was that I could find a group of people to work with me.
I was lucky enough to find a small, but sincere group of inspirational people to keep me company. We've been using Walt Disney's philosophies or creations as inspiration.
I am no longer blogging daily, but I am notified if comments are posted, and I'll be happy to keep the discussion going!

A little inspiration dance
I HAD to make the comment below on a trip report by Nimros (AKA Cathy). This photo was taken by her DH, Kevin. Here is a link to the whole report, where you can find this photo and many others.

When I saw this photo, I was simply AMAZED! I think something about the bright blue sky and the fireworks fascinated me. That started an interesting series of events.
Cathy posted this response on her trip report:
I was pretty amazed that Kevin got this one, too. He said he timed it with the music.
At this point, I sent a private message. Private message is an interesting online communication that can be used for evil (to create cliques and gossip behind people's backs) or good (to bond a little more privately , to seek personal support and spread sunshine). I seem to have settled into a group that prefers the second choice.
So, anyway, here is what transpired:
(From me)
You should send that castle photo to the site where Jennifer picks the photo of the month. I'll bet that will at least be considered!
The water photos look so refreshing, too!
(From Cathy)
Okay - you've inspired me. I'm on it and I'll let you know what happens!

(emphasis on work is mine)
(From me)
OK, this is cracking me up!
First of all, I think your photo should be self-inspiring, because it is GOOD!
Here is what is making me laugh. I am doing a blog project here on using a community to get yourself inspired, and it is TOO funny that you used that word.
Would you mind if I blogged about what you wrote? I hope not, because I am off to do JUST THAT right now!
(From Cathy)
Now you have ME laughing! And you know what - I KNOW you're doing that blog because after reading an entry, I remember trying to think about what was near my desk that inspired me...and I think subconsiously, I must associate YOU with the word 'inspire.'
You are inspiring, you know.
(From me)
TOO funny! The blog was getting so few comments that I was wavering on if it was worth it or not. This is inspiration squared! Can I post a copy of the photo and give you credit for it?
(From Cathy)
Why not? Maybe you'll inspire a few more people!!! I've got to get over and check out the blog....
(Here I am blogging)
I really didn't set out to do this on purpose, but this is an example of JUST what I was trying to explore. The interesting way that people can motivate and inspire each other.
I'm in the process of completing my first trip report. I wonder if I'd ever have figured out how to post those photos if I hadn't made it a goal! When I first posted, it was fun enough, but when people started responsing it was like a shot of enthusiasm in my arm.
There is something so very real happening right here in this PassPorter Community. I wonder if it is the example that is set of supporting and encouraging. I'm not sure what it is, exactly, but there is SOMETHING, and this is an example.
Have an inspired day and try to see if you can inspire someone else. Please post in the comments if you were able to do that. (Remember, Private Messages keep you from sharing with everyone AND I don't want to encourage inner circle groups in this blog, where others may feel out of the loop.)
Again, have an inspired day!

Thanks so much! I've gotten a few comments that people don't know how to get here. Some people can only find the blogs by going through my home page and clicking on the blog tab. How do you find this?0 Pixie Dust

That's exactly the way I go, but if they are reading any of your posts they can click on your signature name, which takes them to your page or they can click on the blog link that is on your signature and I believe it takes them directly to the blog page.0 Pixie Dust
