Spark my inspiration!
Sometimes I feel like hiding under the duvet or just hiding in general. Sometimes I don´t have inspiration for anything. It´s not inspiring when “everybody” around you are talking about how hard things are, or how little jobs there are if you are trying to find the courage to do something new and different. Then it´s nice to meet friends from somewhere else who can spark your inspiration, someone from outside your everyday-world.
Suddenly I feel alive again, like a switch has been turned on! I can do this, I just have to start. How can I worry about the end product before I´ve started? So true, yet again I feel like “the everyday” has swallowed me.
I have power and new air to breathe! When you live in Portugal, there are a lot of amazing things to fall in love with. There are also some things that can be a bit challenging, like the fact that it´s in some ways 20 years behind some other countries in Europe, and when the crisis hit, it hit hard. So thinking of new prospering ideas is best to share with those who are open-minded, and leave the rest to their worries.
So I have a new project in mind, you will see, right now I´m on my way to the sofa to let it brew…
How about you, in need of inspiration?
I know how you feel Annie…Mumbai can be so hot and abrasive; just so crowded and noisy that it gets to me at times. Very badly. I usually escape to my online world and look at the wonderful things you guys are posting, or pop in one of my favourite dvds or devour a book
And then, of course, one can always bake cookies 
Oh, I’d like some cookies;-) and I also tend to escape the outer world by cooking and enjoying my own world! have a great peaceful and inspired day Meenakshi.
Thanks for this post. It is good to know that I am not alone in the quest to ignore the negativity and stay inspired!
Oh yes, I’m here too;-) Just let me know! Maybe we can help eachother!
I find inspiration sometimes comes when I very much least expect to find it.
True indeed! Have a great unexpected day, Lisa;-)
Thank you Anne – you too!
I know what you mean. Sometimes I wish I lived back in the Walton era.(t.v. Show)
I think the best thing, at least for me is to create my own world of fun…;-) like a tv show!
I agree whole heartedly.
This is great!
Thanks Kristin, have an inspiering day!
Just put your bandanna on your head & do what you want. I’ll tell you, hear in the U.S. with the upcoming elections, everything has been so negative and repetitive. You hear the same arguments back & forth about why we can’t do this or that when really all it’s about are people just looking out for themselves & their own wallets. Total gridlock – I think our politicians here could use a little creativity…no wait, what they could use is getting voted out to make room for someone who’s willing to get something done. I guess my point is that it filters down to everyone. I wonder how many people read what’s going on & think “ah, the hell with it, why should I try”.
Maybe I should walk around w/a duvet cover over my head, but I’d probably get arrested at the market.
Ha ha, go on with the duvet cover! Maybe it could say, while you guys are complaining I’m ignoring you so I can focus on what really matters!
you go Diane, but don’t get arrested…
I can see it now, this big puffy blanket with my fuzzy slippers sticking out, maybe a little mumbling coming from under the blanket. They’d have the security cameras on me for sure.
ah ah ha ha;-)
Absolutely. You nailed it! Shut out the outside world’s negativity; say “shut up” to those can’t, won’t, or doubt; and at the risk of sounding trite and commercial – just do it. If I had listened to those who doubted and would have been fearful in my place, I’d be selling shoes at JC Penney! No way! Yes, you can..and yes, you will!
Even though I love shoes, I’m glad you’re doing your thing Bruce! Thanks;-)
Hi Anne, I hear you – today especially – a rainy day here. Sometimes I need to stop trying to inspire myself and go do something completely different, then the inspiration comes. Can’t wait to see your new project! Love and Light to you!! ~Patricia
I know what tou mean, somtimes my best ideas are in front of the tv or in the supermarket;-) thanks sweetie, lots of inspiration for you
so true that it’s difficult to stay optimistic when your environment isn’t mirroring your feelings and that is so important to surround yourself with inspiring people. Some might think it’s ignorance, but I tell you in all honesty that I am not following the news on a regular basis. They don’t help my energy and they are simply not helpful in general in creating a higher vision. That doesn’t mean I don’t stay open and receptive for bigger world issues and concepts. I admire how you move beyond and create your own projects and opportunities. Looking forward to hearing what you’re up to next. Much love, Brigitte
I honestly have to filter the news, and I have decided that I have to focus on helping and creating a better world my way, starting with me. That means ignoring as much as possible all the complaining around me and finding abnew way. Not easy, but hey Rome wasn’t built in one day right? Thank you Birgitte, for being one of the inspiering people I look up to!
