Daily Inspiration Spiritual: Forgiveness

I have watched an inability to forgive vaporize healthy relationships.  I have watched communities suffering in pain instead of healing through forgiveness.  If you cannot forgive then you may end up bitter and alone talking to your self loathing cat as you read Camus or an angry soul that screams at people buying bacon at Wall-mart.  Forgiveness is something we should show everyone but I recognize that for some this is a long road.  I found this beautiful site which shares stories of forgiveness from those that have been on the brutal end of hateful acts.  Perhaps one of the most important reasons to forgive is that it is an opposite to hatred and if we want hatred to stop, then we have to do our part.
Read one of the stories on this site; they're a little dark but full of hope.

Daily Inspiration Song: Lucky Lucky

How can you not feel happy when listening to this song?  I guess you could feel annoyed but that is your choice.  Its best to sing in the winter in your car and maybe as you scare pedestrians while trying to share the love. There are worse lyrics to have stuck in your head....

Daily Inspiration Fictional Person: Judy Funnie

Being a drama geek, I may or may not have modeled my job as an older sister after her.  She prances about the house as a ninja or a toreador and watches Shakespeare on Ice...I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than that.  So embrace your inner Judy; be the weirdo you know you are and accept it

...and should someone stand in your way simply scream "DROP DEAD FOOD FACIST" over your megaphone.

Daily Inspiration Real Person: Ethel Merman

Go ahead laugh...but I idolize this woman.  She embodies a confidence and power that is lacking in modern performance.  Singing like her is therapeutic for me and it could scare away rapists.  If you have never heard her sing, you have to (think of all the inside jokes you're missing out on).  One thing is agreed, there will never be another singer like this.

Daily Inspiration Movie: Food, Inc

Watched this film today.  I already was a vegetarian because I don't like how the meat industry works and am too poor for quality meat but the sections about suppressed farmers being sued was so unconstitutional something must be done.  It may look bleak but that's how it looked at the beginning of every revolution...We can do it!
