Notes from the Artist

I love to be inspired. When the ideas start flowing, and we're working in the groove odd pieces just fit together. Epiphanys happen. Life is good when greased by inspiration. The thrill of a new idea can motivate me through days of hard work.
I thrive in the mental play yard of creative assignments.

Actually, it doesn't even have to be a particularly creative job to keep me motivated. It's the attitude of celebration of creative flow - gratitude for new solutions, that keeps me dancing and singing while I scrub or scrape, tote or lift. In that spiritually infused mental place I am anchored in the physical expression with my full attention and even the sweat on my brow becomes not only an exhilarating reminder that I am indeed alive, but also a source of more energy.

Here's to the benefits of inspiration and being open to it! Here's to the physical efforts to make those creations manifest.
