I started thinking about this question on Malle-Gianattassio's blog. My first answer is everything and anything. But lets get specific.
- Being around genuine, loving and positive people inspire me to be a better person.
- Nature, such as Lake Tahoe above.
- Children, their laughter, expressions and questions.
- Dreams
- Imagination
- Colors
- Creating - it's like an addiction, the more I create, the more I need to do so.
- Being around thought provoking, creative people.
- Pets
- Smells, such as pine trees, and fresh clean air
- My hands in clay
- Yarn
- The ocean
It's easy to find inspiration when our minds are open. I don't know what comes first though--the inspiration or the creating or creating and then finding myself inspired. I have to think about this. Music is one of those things that sets my mind to dancing.
ReplyDeleteRight, its like a spiral that just keeps getting bigger.
