What Inspires Me

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus

Sometimes winter is just too much for me. The short days, the cold nights. The slushy, sloppy, dreary months seem to drag on forever. 

It is during these times that I must dig deep to find inspiration within. 

My faith


My family


Those winter days that are so sunny, the cold can't even keep me from smiling.

My students laughing, my kitty cat asleep in my lap. 

Kind e-mails, good books, hot chocolate.

Color in the things I create.


What inspires you?

During these next few weeks I'd love to feature you. What brings you warmth in the winter? What lights up your days during these dark months?

Interested in being featured?
Send me an e-mail with your post (html code preferred). 

I hope to hear from you!

  5. Oh, great idea! I struggle in the winter, too - somehow the lure of the couch, Netflix, and grumbling about the weather starts to win out over doing anything productive. Thanks for sharing your inspiration!
