Favorite Words - Way of Life - Inspired ~

Go Jodi!

One of my favorite words in the whole English language is inspire... or to be more specific  ~ inspired. I truly believe being inspired by others and then turning around and inspiring someone yourself (intentionally or unintentionally) is one of the best things in life!

I am inspired by friend Jodi and other "fighters" every day.

What inspires you? How do you inspire others?

Speaking of IHOP ~ National Pancake Day is coming!

Eating IHOP pancakes is a yummy way to start a day, however, eating yummy pancakes and supporting charity at the same time is even better!

IHOP's National Pancake Day is coming soon!  On February 28, 2012, IHOP will host their annual event which invites customers to enjoy a free short stack of Buttermilk pancakes.  "In return for the free pancakes, guests are asked to consider leaving a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals© and other designated local charities."

IHOP has raised nearly $8 million to date and has a big goal of $2.7 for 2012.  So if you wake up hungry on February 28, 2012... think IHOP and their National Pancake Day Celebration!  For complete details, click here!
