Editor and Publisher Chelle Thompson provides an insightful and diversified foundation for www.InspirationLine.com with her background in psychology, motivational therapy, recovery counseling, philosophy, international travel writing and theology.
In 1991, Chelle left a successful advertising career in Southern California and followed her Inner Voice to New Mexico, where she knew absolutely no one. In Santa Fe, she established a nonprofit Holistic/New-Thought center called Lightship of Santa Fe that was dedicated to advancing human potential through self-empowerment.
Lightship became the first and only organization of its kind to be endorsed by the city, with a monthly motivational news magazine that was distributed nationally and at the Santa Fe Visitor's Bureau. All teachers and lecturers at Lightship of Santa Fe were screened carefully to be sure that everything they presented inspired spiritual/emotional/psychological growth.
The term "Lightship" refers to a state of being in which our Soul's Essence or Nature is fully embodied within our human form ... i.e. "Relationship with The Light or Spirit or God" (however you choose). Jesus, of course, was able to accomplish this state of being, and set a blessed standard for the rest of humanity.
VISIT INSPIRATION LINE — Over the past ten years, Chelle has been creating and developing the InspirationLine meaningful life website and global weekly e-magazine which reach more than 229 countries worldwide with 75,000 monthly readers. Inspiration Line's mission is to spread the awareness that our most important abilities are PERSPECTIVE and CHOICE. We all have the power to CHOOSE our perspectives.

By changing ourselves from the inside out we can consciously generate a ripple effect that can improve our personal relationships and the world community's future.

Chelle spent years daring to look "within" and from this, found ways to grow in self- empowerment. It's from that place that she carefully selects pearls of wisdom for everyday use. Many times, these pearls have lifted me out of the dark. ~Bernie who lives in St. Augustine, Florida
Great job you are doing... I am a business lady in Africa and there are all those failures and disappointments you always get along the way. But when am in town I always rush to the cyber cafe and read my weekly Inspiration Line newsletter and it really gives me a new spark of life and hope. I could not be more grateful. ~Wairimu who lives in Kenya, Africa
Your inspirational pieces are awesome, and have proven to be an inspiration and morale builder for our troops in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. I did not know this was taking place, but I met a nurse who informed me that she was sending them to her daughters who are over there in the Army. ~Sam who lives in Texas
Rick Nichols of www.HeartInspired.com :
I love Inspiration Line! The music, the graphics, the message, the heart, the genuine concern for all things. You have the most wonderful way of addressing issues of importance to a troubled and frantic humanoid population. Everything from technology to ecology and beyond, you have a way of making it all somehow delicious.

ATTITUDE, PERSPECTIVE & CHOICE:
"Each choice we make causes a ripple effect in our lives. When things happen to us, it is the reaction we choose that can create the difference between the sorrows of our past and the joy in our future." — Chelle Thompson ©2003 Inspiration Line
"There's a powerful State of Mind that I believe we can all reach ... eventually. I learned to move out of a survival-no-matter-what upbringing into positive thinking and action. However, it was only when I finally believed my inner KNOWINGNESS that miracles began to happen everywhere in my life." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 7/31/06
"One never knows what The Universe has in store for us. Personally, I believe that IT IS ALL GOOD ... though we may have to spend some time in reflection to discover how many blessings in disguise have resulted in the evolution of our soul." — Chelle Thompson ©2005 Inspiration Line
"Often what we dream about and pray for doesn't take the form that we think it 'should.' This is the time that we need to call upon our 'inner wisdom' ... to see beyond the physical and recognize true gifts when they magically appear on our doorstep." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 10/25/04
"It took me many years to fully embrace the concept that every moment in my life offered a door ... all I had to do was CHOOSE and KNOW that no matter the outcome, my choices would be 'Right.' Most things that happen in life we CAN choose to call 'gifts' ... though it's often difficult to see the treasure in a tragedy. As time passes and extenuating circumstances reveal themselves, however, I believe we can always find the diamond that arrived wrapped in a square of toilet paper.'' — Chelle Thompson ©2004 Inspiration Line
"My grandma was always 'biding her time' until she could get to Heaven. In the meantime, her life was fairly miserable and she treated my mother abusively. I learned a valuable lesson from this: Create as much Heaven on Earth as possible right now … with everyone near and dear." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 1/19/04
"In my own life I've practiced stepping back emotionally from difficult situations so that I could regain clarity of perspective … like a camera panning up and away. It's quite a miraculous feeling to recognize that we don't have to be victims of circumstance because the very freedom we seek is within each of us." — Chelle Thompson ©2003 Inspiration Line
CHARACTER, SPIRITUALITY & CONSCIOUSNESS:
"You can actually learn to 'speak from the heart' by imagining a small mouth installed in your very own heart. When a challenging situation arises, consciously focus your mind down to that little mouth. Then, put your trust in the Great Spirit, release your personal fears and courageously speak whatever words come out ... for they are the words which, from a higher perspective, need to be spoken and heard in that specific instance." — Chelle Thompson ©2007 Inspiration Line
"My dream for many years has been to empower people around the world ... to have everyone, everywhere recognize their innate worth. No matter what our environment has taught us, the Truth (with a capital "T") is that we are spiritual beings having a human experience, rather than the other way around." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 6/27/05
"One of my most important realizations was that all life is a process, NOT an event. We often play devil's advocate to our greater good when we become impatient with the natural and gradual blossoming of our own consciousness." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 8/16/04
"Learning to live our life with no regrets often happens after some painful experience that we couldn't take back. When we realize we could have acted differently, this important Awareness can guide our future behavior towards inner peace." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 7/19/04
"For almost forty years I relied heavily upon my sense of deductive reasoning and logic. Thankfully, I chose to shift my approach to life and gradually learned to be guided by my intuitive nature. Today, I consciously operate in 'The Flow.' I avoid analyzing and dissecting most of the time ... which brings me more happiness than I've ever known." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 12/15/03
"We all know the old adage that timing is everything ... the truth actually lies in learning to operate intuitively so we can 'hear' the pieces fall into place when the 'Universe opens to show us what is possible.'" — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 10/27/03
"There's no escaping it, the common denominator in each and every relationship that we have in our life is: OURSELVES. The person I am today is a direct result of my past experiences and the fact that I chose to pay attention and learn. When we stay conscious, we eventually recognize the gifts that all of our encounters have given us." — Chelle Thompson ©2003 Inspiration Line
ANGELS, COURAGE & PERSEVERANCE:
"Generally speaking, I simply ASSUME that the best is ALWAYS happening in my life: whether it's enough money, a comfortable and nurturing place to live, whatever. In this same line of thinking, I see myself protected and guided by a squadron of guardian angels ... so I clearly know when it's time to let go of a situation that's not good for me, and when to embark upon a path that's Right." — Chelle Thompson ©2006 Inspiration Line
"One of the best ways to get through difficulties is to simply persevere day by day. Huge projects don't seem as daunting when we focus on one element ... completing that before we tackle the next phase. As Napoleon Hill said, "Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.'" — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 4/24/06
"As a child I was sculpted by an extremely controlling mother, yet I was simultaneously blessed with guardian angels who constantly whispered Truth into my 'ethereal ear.' While my environment condoned bigotry, for example, I had an inner 'Knowingness' that allowed me to reject that heartless viewpoint ... even at a very early age." — Chelle Thompson ©2004 Inspiration Line
"The more we bless those miraculous events in our lives, the more they will occur. Sometimes even guardian angels need a 'green light'!" — Chelle Thompson ©2003 Inspiration Line
"There have been so many times in my life when the things that looked like disasters were really incredible GIFTS that served as pivotal turning points. I am truly thankful for persevering through all of my so-called 'mistakes.'" — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 11/24/03
"We've all had moments of Angelic Intervention which have saved us from peril or brightened our existence. The more we acknowledge these magical occurrences, the more they'll feel 'invited' to return." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 5/19/03
"Sometimes risk taking may involve the most simple of acts. Yet we often whip up a bag full of excuses to avoid taking action. For goodness sake (literally), let's step beyond our security bubbles and start reaching out to the people and opportunities that cross our path." — Chelle Thompson ©2003 Inspiration Line
KINDNESS, TOLERANCE & DIVERSITY:
"Feelings, tentatively tossed, can barely scale the walls of our self-imprisoning fears. When we recognize our Divine Nature, our spirit soars over obsolete walls. Free, then, to love ourselves, we can lovingly embrace a world of differences." — Chelle Thompson ©2003 Inspiration Line
"Human beings seldom step outside of themselves to really grasp the needs of others. We often project our own thoughts and beliefs upon strangers, and make judgments based upon how we think they 'should' be living their lives. If only we could experience a few moments inside the heart of another person, the world would be a much more compassionate and benevolent place." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 12/25/06
"Just a simple gesture of kindness — what possible difference could it make? Ah, there lies the mystery and the magic! Do we only give because we want an ego boost from knowing we 'did good,' or only when we get tangible proof that our gift will be put to 'proper' use? The beauty of unconditional kindness is that we may NEVER know." —Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 8/28/06
"Chance encounters often create magical opportunities for joy, understanding and personal growth. The key here is to stay open ... for even the most powerful sunbeam cannot pierce a wall of stone." — Chelle Thompson © 2005 Inspiration Line
"It's important to give without expecting anything in return, rather than keeping a tally of whom we've helped and who has helped us. Silence and service go hand in hand. Random acts of kindness, particularly those anonymously accomplished, reflect a healthy non-attachment to deed or outcome." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 12/20/04
"We never know when some small kindness will forever make a difference in the lives of total strangers. Continuously performing good deeds ... even without recognition ... will create a trail of miracles in our wake." — Chelle Thompson Inspiration Line 6/7/04
"A problem often arises when we try to love our neighbor as we love OURSELVES ... Oops, no wonder we can sometimes treat others with so little kindness and compassion." — Chelle Thompson ©2003 Inspiration Line
"It's time to BE — the world you want to see."
