Dear Diary, I am lucky in that I can be easily inspired. I pick up a magazine, or a book, and I can quickly be enraptured. I look up to lots of creative people, and I learn from watching them. Seeking out people and ideas that inspire you are real motivators in an artistic life. You want to find the sparks in your community and ignite them. We might enjoy having a real conversation with Martha Stewart, or Oprah Winfrey but very few of us will ever get closer to these kind of huge inspirational people than reading a book or an interview, watching a show. I like to look around my own community, people who are reachable to me, and who are doing things that matter where I live and I like to try and work with them. All around us there are people making, creating, cultivating, and growing a nicer community. When I run across their paths, sometimes I like to walk on it with them a bit because I learn, and sometimes I have a bit to offer. That is how my ideas evolve, it all depends on who walks in the door, who I run into. Once I meet someone I like then I like to work with them.
