Inspirations with Saleema

Sunday, January 24, 2010

Here's this week's uplifting story. ENJOY!


"American humanitarian Greg Mortenson's first book — THREE CUPS OF TEA — has sold over 3.5 million copies around the world. It tells the remarkable story about his efforts to build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. When in 2008 the JOURNAL asked viewers what books should be priority reading for the next President, THREE CUPS OF TEA was among the top ten suggestions. Now, the book has become required reading for our senior military commanders and Special Forces in Afghanistan."

About My Blog

Saleema
This blog is meant to share poetry and ideas that inspire and uplift readers. Etymology dictionaries describe inspiration as follows: "Inspiration, is derived from, "inspirationem" or "inspiratus," pp. of inspirare "inspire, inflame, blow into," from in-"in" + spirare "to breathe" in - in +spirare = to breathe - conveys the idea of motion, direction, or inclination into or to a place or a thing." I am hoping this blog will be a place where people can come for ideas, comfort and peace. Your comments and inspirations are welcome. Enjoy!
