My Vision For You

Feeling inspired lately? What makes your heart beat quickly, or fosters your mood to create? Do you have a special place you go, a person you call, or do the images in your mind push your magic button?







Share with us the tools you use to bring out your inner muse. Who is she? Maybe she is lurking inside but trapped behind a stone gate. Open that gate and let her creative juices flow.











How about an inspiration or vision board? It is very easy to put together and if you are like me you have stacks of magazines that you just can't bare to throw out.
Put them to good use and search for images that inspire you. It can be a table that you would love to add to your dining room or a place that you have been just dying to visit.
What ever sets off that spark within your mind.







I use words and quotes to mix in with the images on my board. I glue images that I want to remain permanent and tack on those that I may want to change. If you don't have a handy magazine supply you can just as easily google or flickr for your muse.



I recently found a flickr group for inspiration boards. Check it out here. If you decide to use flickr then you can go here for a handy tool to paste in the url and make a Mosaic board of your inspirational images. Just paste and print, now what could be easier than that?

Sometimes inspiration comes from the muses all around us. Slow down, take a deep breath, open your mind, then open your eyes and really see!

Life imitates art (or vice versa) and sometimes your muse is no father than your own back yard.










Drop me a line and share with me your inspirations. Tell me about your favorite photos or an inspiration board that you would like to share.

Inspire me!

Thanks for your visit.
I hope you feel inspired enough to bring your inner muse out to play.

Follow your bliss!

Free To Be

Sometimes I sit and wonder what it would be like to do as you feel and feel as you like. The freedom to say what is really on your mind. The right to wear whatever feels good. The luxury of not doing anything at all if that is what you choose. Instead we must plaster a Mcdonalds smile on our face and say have a nice day to the people that we would least like to see have a nice day. We must dress for success and always be age appropriate. We drag ourselves out of bed to go to a job that we hate and that does not really reflect who we are inside. We kiss up to the boss in hopes of a fat raise or early promotion. We pretend to be interested when our friends tell us how great little Bobby is for the twelfth time in only a week. We come home every day only to put in another full day of work by making dinner, spiffing up the house, running the kids to soccer, helping them with their homework and then reading them a lovely story before bed.

What would happen if we all just suddenly became true to ourselves? What if we did what we were truly meant to do? No more wondering if your neighbor really liked your dog or your girlfriend loved the way you dress. No worries about whether your husband finds you funny or you guests love your decorating sense. Everyone would speak their mind at all times. What would the world be like? Could we handle such candor? Would this make it easier by taking they guess work out of our decisions? How would you feel and who would you be? Do you know your true self? Are you in touch with what is really inside? Do you have an inner muse? Who is she and can she speak for herself/or for you? What would really happen? Would our world suddenly become an unbearable place? If everyone ate what they wanted and said what they thought, would we all be a bunch of size 10 bullies with bed hair, wrinkled clothing and really really bad breath? Or would the world turn as it should without the stress, envy, greed and pompous act. Would this cut down on disease and self inflicted ailments? I wonder could we live in that kind of place and if we did who would we be? Do you know your true self? Who would you be? What is the first thing that you would do or change about your life? Ha, made you think didn't I? Take a moment and let me know what you think without the sugar coating or pompous act please. Just the real you. Can you do it?
