inspiration

I don't know if it's the weather change and the return of my business or an upcoming buying adventure across country or just plain old spring fever, but this crazy brain is on overdrive! Lately I feel inspired by well, just about anything and everything. I feel like I eat, drink, sleep all matters creative. If I'm not scouring the planet for old junk, I am displaying my finds. My recent appearance on a design show has me coveting anything interior related. Our recent home renovation(still not finished)has me looking at furniture in a new light. I am ready to purge all my belongings and start fresh yet my inner hoarder is struggling. With the emergence of spring, my yard is getting the stink eye, so ready am I to finally finish outside projects. I am inspired by travel and the senseless abandonment it brings. My wanderlust is at full tilt waiting for my road trip next week. All I can say about that is girlfriends, old junk, cowboy boots, and margaritas under the Texas sky. I am so excited I could positively burst! I would also like to thank American Express for the business capital to make it possible or I might be anxiously chewing off all my fingernails right now. Writing is also inspiring in the way it forces my brain to creatively arrange words on a screen in order to convey all these random thoughts boinging around in my brain like freshly dropped super balls. Writing is a creative outlet I never even entertained until an overwhelming need to scream turned into a blog of four years. Screaming to a silent audience is actually quite cathartic and I wish I had realized my ability sooner rather than later. Better late than never they say. Social media is also another source from which to draw inspiration. There is an entire world of color, travel, design, craft, food, etc. just waiting for the click of your finger. After being stuck inside the past few months with not much in the way of inspiration other then social media, it's no wonder my brain feels on fire, awake, alive! That winter pall has left my body and all I see is possibility. My brain is short firing in bursts of color. My poor husband can't keep up with my vocal musings free associated in his direction. Every inspirational meme seems to be speaking to me and I am soaking it up like I plan to soak up the sun. Dream big. I am! Just do it. I am! Be the change you wish to see. I am! It is just so nice to feel again. Being so cold for so long left me dull and unmotivated. I don't even care that it still lingers because in exactly one week I will be in warmth. It may be muddy and soggy or dry and dusty. Either way I don't care because I have 6 days to roam free with no schedule or agenda. Six days to suck up all the inspiration I can and channel it back into my business and home. So lookout y'all, I'm bringing more back from this adventure then just freeloading cucharachas, because when inspiration strikes, ya gotta ride it like a wild pony or you'll get trampled. Good evening world.
