- Watching the sunrise each morning as I walk in the park with my four-year-old son
- Reading a book whose words leap off the page and come alive in my head
- Taking time to see and photograph the beauty that is all around me
- Someone who offers positive advice rather than negative especially in regards to writing
- A pain-free day
- Listening to Hay House Radio each day at work
- Listening to Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer affirmations on my iPhone
- Writing my morning pages
- Requiring Fridays off from work so that I can focus on writing
- Reading inspiring blogs that encourage participation from readers such as Inspiration Art Flirtation and Soul Food Cafe
- Reading poetry
- Eating healthy, organic foods
- Attempting to draw even though I don’t know how
- Meditating
- Visualizing a beautiful future
- Volunteering
- Watching miracles occur in my life every day
- Being alive
- Writing an “I am grateful for” list every day with my four-year-old son
- My son and I raising our hands towards the sky each morning and saying “Thank you for this beautiful day, thank you for this beautiful life, thank you for this beautiful mommy/son” and then giving each other a great BIG hug!
- Reading, writing, reading, writing, reading, writing…..
- SLEEP

You inspire me…
What a great list! I would include Jelly Beans and dark roast coffee on my list
On another note–I hope you are feeling better and are able to enjoy your weekend.
This was not only uplifting, but beautiful. I too enjoy reading & writing poetry for inspiration.
How inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing. I will have to sort mine out and write it up so that I may too share.
It took me a little bit to get to it…but here is my list…I have a version of it in my art journal too and will have to post pictures here soon…
