Author and editor Anita Bergen has always been captivated by the magic of Inspiration. Early in life she realized the healing qualities of inspirational quotations and their ability to bring guidance and the spirit of possibility to hopeless situations. It was this appreciation that prompted her to begin collecting some of the most inspirational thoughts ever written. These collections became a powerful support system during the very troubling times to come.
Inspiration is the muse, that often elusive process of being mentally stimulated to do something creative with a challenging situation. At times, it seems we all cry out for inspiration and seek its healing message.
Anita believes that inspiration is one of the strongest forces in the universe and is the necessary catalyst that motivates us to go on and not to give up during the hardest times of our lives. It was this belief and her concern for others seeking guidance and direction that caused her to create and develop her website:

Her message is one of metamorphosis and personal growth: "During challenging times, it's comforting to realize we haven’t been singled out; our experience isn’t unique. What we are feeling and the emotions and difficulties we’re struggling with have all been encountered before. Many experienced, knowledgeable seekers have also traveled this path. An old Chinese proverb states: 'To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.'"
Anita Bergen takes joy in creating and editing books of all kinds, especially those that explore and express the spirituality in everyday life. Her best works are her quotation anthologies, which include Life and Other Options and Pause and Reflect.
Anita remains an avid world traveler and has addressed numerous groups at seminars in locations such as Barcelona, Paris and London.
