from Positive Talk Radio · host KM Audio Productions LLC

Cindy Waddle and Carl Merrell believe the right words, offered at the right moment, can remind someone that they are seen, supported, and not alone. Together, Cindy and Carl are behind Dezire to Inspire, a collection of thoughtfully created cards designed to offer strength, comfort, encouragement, and meaningful connection during the moments when finding the right words can be difficult. Dezire to Inspire goes beyond traditional greeting cards. Each message is created with the intention of speaking directly to what someone may be experiencing, whether they are navigating grief, seeking healing, holding onto hope, or simply needing encouragement to keep moving forward. With card sets covering 28 different topics, Cindy and Carl have created a resource that can meet people across a wide range of life experiences. The goal is not simply to send a card, but to create a moment of genuine human connection that reminds the recipient that someone is thinking about them and understands what they may be going through. That intention is reflected in the response from recipients, many of whom have shared that the messages feel as though they were written specifically for them. It is that sense of personal connection that sits at the heart of Dezire to Inspire. Through their work, Cindy and Carl are demonstrating that encouragement does not always require a long conversation or the perfect advice. Sometimes a few meaningful words can provide exactly what someone needs in that moment. Their message is simple: words have the power to connect, comfort, and inspire, and sometimes one thoughtful message can make someone feel a little less alone.
