Welcome to InSpiritry®!

What do you think of when you hear the phrase, "the Greater Good"?

Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, a new world order, globalization, a political catch phrase?

If so, think again!

The Greater Good is the compelling idea that "it's not just about me!"

In fact, each of us is just one among billions of people who are very much alike!

When we open our minds to that existence of a wide world of humanity,

we see how our personal self-interests can be balanced against the "good" of all of us.

We begin to view all situations, all problems, all triumphs as inter-related.

Every distaster impacts us. Every injustice deserves our attention. Every child is our own.

Peace becomes not an abstract dream, but an urgent, personal passion for change.

The idea of a global network of people working together for their common concerns

is not so far fetched as the cynics and pundits would like us to believe!

Many of us harbor secret, or not so secret, ambitions of Greater Good Thinking.

Some are young and want to avoid lives full of bigotry and materialism.

Others are older and have always wanted to find a way to "change the world."

Still others are mired in lives that would benefit from economic justice.

What connects us is our common belief in possiblity, in change, in hope, in peace.

Poet, Storyteller and Social Activist Anne McCrady founded InSpiritry®

as a way to encourage all those with an interest in the Greater Good

to make the most of their personal interests and energies in exciting, productive ways

and, even more importantly, to use their efforts as an inspiration to others.

Offering Anne's own inspirational poetry, stories, web links, journal entries,

peacenotes and commentary, InSpiritry.com is an ever changing source of food for thought.

There is even a giftshop for purchasing books, gifts and other inspirational items.

For storytelling and poetry enthusiasts, there are special resources and ways to connect with others

who share a devotion to the power of words.

As a path for those who are seeking practical suggestions for how to begin to live and work

for the Greater Good, Anne offers a set of personal practices. She calls these areas of action

InSpiritry's Seven C's: Community, Compassion, Creativity, Collaboration, Consilience, Courage, Celebration. Each InSpiritry® blog and podcast will address an aspect of one of these compelling ideas.

If we are ever to solve the world's frightening social developments, terrible inequalities

and distastrous conflicts, people who committed to the new path of the Greater Good

will show us the way. So if you are one of those people, now is the time to speak out,

to serve others, to live your dreams of making a difference, to change the world.

You Can Do It!
