April can be a difficult month for many of us, and this April seems to be more difficult than usual… the world being the complex and conflicted place it is.
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
~ T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
So, if one can spread a little hope and joy…
I read the most inspiring story, this morning! It’s by Wendy Piersall, what she calls The Biggest Blog Post of My Life:
Let me start at the beginning. Not at the beginning of this blog. Not even at the beginning of this decade. I’ll start at the beginning of my career. Why? Because this is a journey that has been tragic and difficult, exhilarating and amazing. I want to start at the beginning, because I want you to see yourself in this post. I want you to come with me, because I want you to write a post like this yourself someday, too. (Oh, God, I’m crying already.)
Wendy’s story is one of a brave strong journey that will bear golden fruit in May with the launch of “Inspired Business Growth”, part of the new Entrepreneur.com site for Women Entrepreneurs.
Her strength is remarkable and inspiring. But another lesson I take from this story is the power that one small act of caring kindness, stranger to stranger, can have in changing someone’s whole life direction.

I can’t wait for WomenEntreneur.com to start up, Wendy. Thanks to your “heads-up” on this – my email is on the list to be notified!
Hey – thanks for your own inspiring post! I’m glad you found some of your own light while reading my story. :)
