The point of this hub is to share true stories of inspiration. I'm talking about everyday heroes; random acts of kindness; perseverence; heart; pictures... whatever strikes your fancy.

These days we can all use a little pick me up, especially when everything on the news is doom and gloom. So, go ahead and post your own story, picture, or anecdote. Let's get inspired!

Maybe you've seen the commercials for Tom's Shoes. The inventor's name is Blake Mycoskie, and he has really inspired me to want to become a social entrepeneur. His business model is awesome: for every pair of shoes he sells, he gives a pair away to a child in need. Check out his blog at http://blakemycoskie.blogspot.com/ and definately check out the shoes at www.tomsshoes.com - they are really unique and great looking (also, they look really comfortable)!
