Good Day,

My name is Jason Alderson and I am a Canadian soldier that has created the company Living Inspired Now. I would like to incorporate more inspirational/motivational stories and articles on our site, and on our monthly publication that is sent out to all of our subscribers as well as hard copies to businesses for their customers reading enjoyment.

This monthly publication showcases original inspirational articles, photographs and other works of art from artists all over the world. I believe this would be a truly beneficial publication for anyone reading since it is incredibly positive in nature and can have the power to lift spirits and improve morale.

In short, our mission is to inspire and motivate as many individuals as possible by spreading positivity and inspiration to those open to it and our publication is entirely free. I would like to speak with you in ways we could help one another. I look forward to hearing from you.

Coach, you are very welcomed. I don’t remember exactly when I started following your blog — sometime in 2013, and I have reblogged several of your articles. If I remember correctly it was the other week that I reblogged the story about heaven and hell with the long spoons strapped to arms. It is a profound lesson.

Hi Coach Muller,

This is Danita with The Virtuous Girls (http://thevirtuousgirl.org/). I wanted to let you know about our new venture to help Middle East Christians, Yazidis and other religious minorities have a better holiday season and a brighter future. We’ve set a goal to raise $10,000 for Mark Burnett and Roma Downey’s “Cradle of Christianity Fund” (http://www.cradlefund.org/) by December 25.

To do so we are making and selling delicious homemade chocolate bark. For every BARK BOX that we sell, 50% will be donated to “The Cradle of Christianity Fund”. We’ve done our math and know that it will take a lot of work, but Christmas is that magical time of year when we celebrate the arrival of “Immanuel” – God with us. God sent His Son into the world to let us know that we were not alone. Middle East refugees should know that they are not alone either. There are still people in this world who love them and care for them.

More details can be found here: http://thevirtuousgirl.org/bark-box/. Please be sure to share BARK BOX with a friend. Together, we can make a difference!

Grace and peace,

Danita

Hi – I’m writing from a Japanese educational publisher. We really like the stories on your blog — so much so, in fact, that we would like to use three of them as part of our English study material for Japanese college students. We were wondering if you might give us permission to upload them to an intranet study site. We would naturally be happy to pay for reuse if necessary. I’d be very grateful if you could let me know if this is possible. If so, I will send you further details.
Many thanks in advance!
