Journey Road Thursday

Destination:

Inspiration comes from the world around you, but if you are not in the world you will have nothing to inspire you. Community is a beautiful source of inspiration, especially when you find someone who encourages you to be the best you.
In our home we believe you are always in one of two states of a relationship. You are either being a friend or making a friend. Take this week to be a friend to someone you haven't really spoken to in a while.

Seriously, I can't believe how quickly a week passes by. Here I am at the end of a Thursday, wishing I had written this so much earlier...like yesterday! Anyway...

So an opportunity presented itself this week to touch base with a relatively new friend of mine, who is moving north. I realized on my way into church I might not get to see her before she left, which kind of bummed me out. In my musing, I realized that she has played an influential role in my new found love for working with children that are not mine! On top of that, she has this beautifully creative spirit that just takes your breath away and makes you feel so at peace when in her company.

It was a pleasant surprise when I saw that night at church. It was so great to be able to wish her well in this new adventure that awaits her. But the real gem, was her sharing a poem she wrote. The imagery and emotion was so beautiful. I realized in that moment, while I received a bit of her heart, of her, was how friends inspire one another.

I hope you had a chance to experience a friend's inspiration this past week. If not, I hope is suddenly surprises you as it did me this week.

be inspired, be inspiring


Where to?
Let life inspire you this week, then create something based on that inspiration. This can be written, a piece of art, etc. you choose your medium. Share what you create, as I would love to see how you were inspired.
