A Letter from Co-Founder Chris Deutsch:

Being a witness to, and participant in, Rob's recovery has been one of the most inspirational things I have ever done. Rob emerged from treatment a new person: driven, focused, and committed to service. I was thrilled to have my old friend back. In our talks, as he was adjusting to the re-entry process, I was struck by how excited he was about the "Recovery" messages he was receiving. I began thinking about what messages of inspiration would most impact my life. As a fifth grade teacher, it is important for me to remain inspired and motivated.

Just remember: there are no guidelines for how to use these messages. For Rob, they are an important part of his routine as much as anything else. For me, they are a daily reminder of the importance of sustaining inspiration. I love that the messages call me to act, and I've found that they have helped me through periods where I have felt stagnant. I have also found it valuable to be in contact with inspired people, whether they are our authors or our members. By communicating with one another, we can deepen our understanding and our inspiration.

I encourage all of you to be active in the community forums. We each have a different and valuable take on what inspires us.
