To be inspired or not to be inspired - there's no question!

Inspiration is for everyone, and its sources come in many shapes and colors. Even icky situations can be inspiring, as they can motivate people to move in the opposite directions (say, away from the neighbor lady who tells you the world is so bad you shouldn't have children) or to offer a helping hand, a leg up or an encouraging word (asking glass-half-empty neighbor lady about the highlight of her week). This Inspire card is part of the Interactive Boxed Set (shown) made by Ecosaurus. As you might guess, it's dedicated to inspiration.
Here's a little story, inspired by our desire to inspire you to buy this card - and its set - to inspire others. Warning: This is a shameless plug.
1. You are inspired to support the USPS and keep in better touch with friends through snail-mail. So you decide to stock up on note cards.
2. You look out the window only to realize how beautiful the planet is. You then look across the room to see a piece of paper peeking out of your recycle bin. Suddenly, you are inspired to seek out eco-friendly cards. You mosey over to your computer  - which is set on "energy-savings" mode - to shop online and save time, gas and resources.
3. You stumble across a company called Ecosaurus. Its green ways, leafy dino logo and contemporary card offerings inspire you to make a purchase, specifically the Interactive Boxed Set.
4. Your cards arrive, and immediately you are inspired to send a letter. You peruse your card options, select the Inspire card and opt to send it to a friend who has - yup, you got it - inspired you.
5. You consider your friend's inspiring qualities, circling the applicable descriptors lining the card. Next, you are inspired to fill in the blank that allows you to further customize the card for the aforementioned inspiring friend.
6. Because you have to go to the post office anyway, you are inspired to write two more cards to friends who need to take time to celebrate and to breathe. Fortunately, you already have the cards handy and can hop to it. ~ A.F. + J.S.
