Inspire. Share. Create. 

Sparkling Word started in September 2013 as a Facebook page with inspirational pictures, quotes, and links to motivational articles. I wanted to share with the world what inspired me and thought would inspire other people out there as well. 

My name is Alena Grove Vilisova, and I'm the shutterbug, note collector, and journal keeper behind Sparkling Word. I was born in the Czech Republic and moved to the US when I was 23. I learned English mainly by reading books and making notes about words that I did not know but looked up in a dictionary.  

I realized a long time ago that I'm the happiest when I'm creating something. That's why Sparkling Word was born. I needed a platform to creatively express myself, and also inspire and motivate others. Because we all have greatness inside; sometimes we just need a little inspirational kick to realize that. I wanted to share content that will refuel us and will be our daily dose of joy and inspiration. I'm not a pro photographer, but I'm passionate about taking photos and take all of the photos for my blog, unless otherwise noted under a photograph. 

Enjoy flipping through the pages of Sparkling Word - Your Inspiration Boutique™.  I hope you will get some sort of takeaway that you can put into action immediately or in the future. ❥
