Has a positive message ever appeared to you in a coincidental way, at a meaningful time in your life? Maybe you spotted an inspirational quotation somewhere when you had been feeling discouraged. Or heard a song that lifted your spirits. Or happened to see a movie scene that helped you somehow.
If you have experienced a positive message that seemed surprisingly appropriate for the moment (or know about products, places, artwork, people, books, songs, etc., with positive messages), e-mail a few details to michele@possibilitybox.com. I might be able to feature your story or idea in the blog or the book.

I headed to a very expensive week long class in New Mexico, an investment in a new career direction. But of course, I had many second thoughts about it. I arrived and woke early the first morning so found a…
This post originally appeared on The Enliven Project: I love when life gives me moments that affirm I am on the right path. When the universe gives me a wink and a nod. When I was a senior in high…
Two girlfriends and I took the mini-adventure of a lifetime and traveled to the Writer’s Digest Conference in Los Angeles to pitch literary agents on our book ideas. We stepped outside our regular worlds and our comfort zones, and offered…
