Inspiration. It's all around us if we know where to look. Sometimes it's found in the beauty of nature or the dynamics of the big city. Sometimes it's in the most elegant places on earth. The artist Paul Gauguin found his muse among the islands and people of Tahiti. Other times it's in some of the most unimaginable of places or situations. Viktor Frankel found it in the Nazi concentration camps. Mother Teresa found inspiration in the slums of Calcutta. Nelson Mandela found his in a jail cell. These amazing authors share their life experiences and challenges and how inspiration played the key role in their overcoming adversity and growing as human beings. Some come from very modest means and some from great wealth. Some found their inspiration against incredible odds with no support from friends and family. Others had caring mentors who pointed the way. Whatever path you may be on, these stories will enlighten, enthuse and inspire you and, hopefully, lead you to inspire others.
Autorenporträt
Susan Sheppard (1955-2021) was a native West Virginian, with deep roots in Appalachia. Sheppard was the winner of a West Virginia Department of Culture & History's poetry fellowship, which is how she won her first computer. She was the first runner-up in the Poets & Writer's Maureen Egen Writer's Exchange for 2019 and traveled as a part of the "Women of Appalachia Spoken Word Series." She was "Black Dutch," meaning that she was descended from the less than 850 Shawnee Indians who remained east of the Mississippi River after the other Shawnee (during the "Trail of Tears" removal) were forced onto reservations out west in the 1830s. Susan, along with others in the Friend family, was a direct descendent of Shawnee Chief Big Thunder through his daughter, Bright Lightning, whose name was anglicized to "Anna Friend."
