About us...

www.inspiration-for-singles.com is the creation of Jack Zavada.

No Brad Pitt, but a nice guy. While this site may be about us (never marrieds, divorceds and widoweds), it's also about the search for your purpose in life. That search is something that every person, no matter their marital status, is engaged in. Jack falls into the never-married category.

Jack is a Baby Boomer who has survived the joys of dating, the disappointments of failed relationships, and the frequently difficult job of living by yourself.

Several years ago he added a Cairn Terrier, Charlie, to his household. Charlie the dog is now firmly convinced that he generously allows Jack to live with him.

Among Jack's interests are photography, wood carving, reading, the Old West, and the music of James Taylor, Jennifer Warnes, and Alison Krauss.

He earned bachelor's and master's degrees in English from Illinois State University and has worked as a newspaper reporter, technical editor for the U.S. Department of Defense, publications editor for a utility company, and communications director for a national nonprofit organization.

He is the author of four published western novels: Rebel Town, The Wolfer, Penwhistle's Prize, and West of the Pecos. In his career, he has had more than 2 million words in print.

Jack makes his home in Streator, Illinois, USA, a small town of about 15,000 people, located on the Vermilion River, 90 miles southwest of Chicago.

Unless otherwise attributed, all articles and poems on www.inspiration-for-singles.com were written by Jack.

40 years of wisdom in a week's time

Click for details about Single & Sure! Single & Sure, Jack's ebook, was 40 years in the making. In it, Jack reveals his down-to-earth principles for thriving in the single life.

"Why go through the pain and heartache I went through, when you don't have to?" Jack asks. "Not only do I share truths on how to win over loneliness, worry, and fear of rejection, but I also show you clear, positive steps to build your confidence and contentment.

"The truths in Single & Sure" may have taken me a lifetime to learn, but you can make them yours in a week or two by reading this book.

"This is all new material--the same kind of common sense information you've been reading on www.inspiration-for-singles.com."

Complete details on Single & Sure...

Our biggest problem

"Over the years, I've had hundreds of intimate, honest conversations with both married and single people," Jack says, "And I've learned that the biggest problem we all face--marrieds and singles alike--is loneliness. Some people may deny it, but it's universally true. We're all just looking for someone who will attentively listen to us, understand us, and love us.

"People go to extraordinary lengths trying to find that person. And some of them get into a lot of trouble. If you've found a spouse who is that person, I'm absolutely thrilled for you. But for those of us who aren't married, that person is Jesus Christ. Come to think of it, even if you are married, that person is Jesus Christ.

"Visitors to www.inspiration-for-singles.com might ask, 'Who is this guy, anyway? Is he some kind of religious fanatic? And where does he get off trying to inspire other people?'

"Those are legitimate questions. As I said on our Home Page, I've made plenty of mistakes and hope to share some of the lessons I've learned so others don't have to go through that same pain. I even made some of the same mistakes two or three times before I wised up.

No shouting, please

"But I'm not trying to give dating advice here. Rather, I'm trying to inspire you to keep trying, keep going, keep moving forward in your life. I guess I'm like a cheerleader, but without that annoying shouting.

"And am I a religious fanatic? No. I'm just an ordinary guy who tries, and often fails, to put God first in his life.

"Thank you for visiting I-F-S.com. I hope you come back often, because we're always adding new material. Our official motto is 'Good stuff for your head and heart.'

"If you find inspiration-for-singles helpful, the best way you can thank me is to tell two of your single friends or relatives about this site.

"I don't have a budget for advertising, so the most effective way to get the message to more people is through word of mouth and email by visitors.

"Could you please do that? Thanks very much!"



Why we use a contact form...

What spammers really look like Do you hate spam? Phew! It stinks!

Unfortunately, if we listed our email address on the site, we'd be so buried under spam that we'd waste all our time deleting it and wouldn't have time to reply to legitimate emails from you.

See, spammers have little program bots that prowl the 'Net, harvesting email addresses listed on web sites. Then these cyber-skunks stink up honest folks' inboxes with their creepy ads. Hand me that bar of soap!

The only way to avoid it is to use a Contact Form instead. Your email through this form will get to me just the same, but the spam won't. So that's why we have to use the form.

So we'd appreciate hearing what you like--or don't like--about what you've read here. Tell us if a specific page was worthwhile for you or what other topics we should cover.

We're always changing and adding to the site, so let us know what's most relevant to your life as a single person.
