everyone needs inspiration...little bits of art, fashion, music, and miscellaneous bits that strike an inner chord and slowly weave their way into our lives.to help keep track of the treasures that i find i keep an inspiration board above my nightstand. i start with an empty board at the beginning of the year and then collect and reflect over all the treasures that end up on the board.
every so often i will sit and take a closer look at what's made it on the board... some things have sentimental value, some clippings are of items i covet or desire, but most items end up being art, craft, or design based, and it is those items that inspire me most.
i think that is because the amount of creative talent in the world truly amazes me. and an individuals will and ability to express themselves and share that reflection of with the world is inspirational. we all have a creative side, but the confidence it takes to put yourself out there and make yourself vulnerable to both criticism and praise takes gusto.
gusto that more of us should have...
...gusto that i don't mind sharing in small groups but one day hope to share with the world.
