I Can Do Anything Good-weliveinspired.com

Let’s start the new week out with some motivation!  You’ve heard me mention how I have collected an “arsenal of inspiring things” over the past 14 years (which eventually led to the creation of this site).  One of those things is a YouTube video I came across a few years ago.  You may have already seen it somewhere.  It’s a video of a little girl named Jessica shouting out positive affirmations in a spunky, enthusiastic way.  Affirmations aside, this really is a video that speaks volumes about gratitude.  We should all only have this much enthusiasm for the blessings we have in our lives.   In the video she is standing on the bathroom sink looking in to the mirror while declaring all of the things she likes in her … Continue Reading →

Five Minute Friday- The Truth About Me

It’s Five Minute Friday, in which I typically bring you inspiring poetry (mostly) written in 5 minutes.  Today is different though.  This is what Lisa Jo wanted us to write about today: “So our word for Five Minute Friday this week? Let’s make it: TRUE. Because I need your true stories. Just like I hope you need mine. ”  Click the word true to read other people’s “truths” today!   Everything I write here at We Live Inspired is true, but I try to bring you the positive sides of life and how I create a Joy-FULL, happy existence, so that you too can live joy filled..right where you are at in life.   With that being said, I don’t “complain” much about what life can really be like for … Continue Reading →

It’s a cozy cottage weekend-Welcome to my cottage!  I would like to invite you to come on back to the “Secret Garden” with me to harvest some grapes!  I must warn you there is a naughty little fairy that has caused some mischief with the grapes this year.  She is quite hard to spot, so I don’t know if we will see her today, but I can assure you she has been here.  There is evidence, which we will discuss later.  But first-a tour of the grape vines that came with our new cottage garden!     We are at the left side of the backyard fence now.  This is where the wild grapes grow!  I am sure they are wild grapes, because they are small (the size of a … Continue Reading →

The Man in The Moon-a story by Rebekah weliveinspired.com

It’s Friday!  That means today is inspiration in the form of poetry (my personal challenge and goal) as I link up with my writing friends for Five Minute Friday.  Today’s word was SHE.  I was inspired by the full moon tonight, and am excited about what came out during today’s writing exercise! When I was in grade school I used to write funny little children’s books/stories.  I haven’t written a children’s book as an adult, but I am thinking I want to turn today’s writing in to a whimsical storybook of some type with some really cool pictures/artwork in it.  What do you think?   Will you join me for a bedtime story?   The Man in the Moon  She tiptoes outside at Twilight To talk to the man in … Continue Reading →

Cozy Cottage Weekends-Wild Mama Rabbit With Her Baby Bunny

Wild Baby Bunny Rabbit

Welcome to my inspired cozy cottage!  I am doing something new so that the wide variety of topics I share here at We Live Inspired is more organized so you (sort of) know what to expect. Previously, I have occasionally shared recipes, DIY or home related things at random. There are so many things that inspire me, but inspiration in the form of cooking, decorating, crafting and such is quite different than writing inspirational articles and poetry to motivate or encourage.  My content won’t be changing, it is just that from now on all of these homey types of things will be moved to the weekends for something I like to call “Cozy Cottage Weekends”.   I may not post an article every weekend, but when I do write on … Continue Reading →

The Layer Cake Sky Poem by weliveinspired.com

Happy Friday my Friends!  Bringing you some free verse poetry/prose today as I link up for another Five Minute Friday with Lisa Jo and the gang.  Today’s 5 minute writing challenge word is RED.  I wrote mine on a sunset I saw a couple of weeks ago, that I wanted to capture on photo, but couldn’t.  It was one of those magical skies that made you feel like you almost were not on the street you live, but on some island in the Caribbean for vacation.   Yes my friends, sometimes the mundane can be marvelous!  That is something you will often find me doing here at We Live Inspired– really SEEING what is in front of me and sharing my perspectives on it all.  I hope that you will … Continue Reading →

Rest & Be Thankful Quote for Labor Day- weliveinspired.com & facebook.com/WeLiveInspired

I am keeping today’s post simple, in honor or Labor Day :).  I hope you have been enjoying a wonderful, long weekend!  Matt and I are hosting our first little family barbecue today.  It is a belated cookout for Matt’s birthday/Labor Day get together.  My parents got him Omaha Steak Co. steak burgers for his birthday, so we will be cooking those on the grill.  We are particularly excited to try out the new seasoning rubs I got him for his birthday.  You know me-not one much for plain stuff- variety is the spice of life and keeps me living inspired!   So these won’t be just plain burgers, they will be burgers seasoned with a Mesquite grilling seasoning rub.  Last week (on Matt’s actual birthday) we tried Montreal seasoned … Continue Reading →
