In this week’s edition of my Inspiration Round-up, I have included some really great posts that I have read in the last few weeks and an artist whose work takes my breath away and inspires me with the work she does. I hope you find your own inspiration and keep me posted on what inspires you most!
I love reading stories about how the Universe (insert God, Goddess, Source, or whatever tickles your fancy) provides the exact person, resource, thought, or other inspirational nugget that propels a person to take inspired action toward their dreams. In the moment it may seem quite simple, yet when you look back on the situation you often find it was the perfect set up for progress. I read one of those stories today on one of my favorite blogs Views From The Podium. The Unexpected Road is about how these seemingly innocent inspirational nuggets came together perfectly and how the author made her transition from acting to teaching yoga. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
Another post I found very inspiring and enlightening comes from Jess Lively who I have referenced on my blog several times. About a year ago she decided to close the doors on her accessory company that she had for 14 years and to expand her consulting business and ultimately follow her intuition. In her post she describes not only how she trusted her intuition, but also the importance of letting go of one thing in order to expand another and how her consulting/design/intentional business has expanded in wonderful ways by taking that leap of faith. I admire her courage to take that leap and to follow her intuition as I wholeheartedly believe that in order to bring new things in, we often have to let some things go. You can read her post here and who knows, you might realize there are a few things you could let go of in order to propel you forward in a new direction.
The last post in today’s round-up is an artist I discovered just today from another blog I follow. The post featured a unique artist whose art is intricate, whimsical, and simply amazing. I loved the video so much I had to take a look at Lora Zombie’s site to view more of her breath-taking artwork. As a writer/choreographer/life coach and general Jane of many trades, I find inspiration in a variety of places and there is something about Lora’s art that hits a chord with me and lights up my heart. Her work is full of dreamy, magical images that make a statement and express a multitude of emotions. It may sound a bit dramatic, but it is as if you can literally feel the passion, creativity, and joy that she puts into her pieces as you view them. You can check out her pieces here.
Well that’s it for today’s round-up. I hope you found some inspiration to move forward on your own dream journey. Feel free to share your own favorite articles, posts, or videos in the comments section below!
