Katherine I was hesitant to admit I listen to the same song over and over again (my kids aren't super fond of this behavior of mine) but I'm glad I mentioned it because I've discovered there are a lot of people that do the same thing. I think many of us are soothed by repetition. Thank you Katherine and Susie and Ellen for the compliments for my art.

Sometimes they fill with loneliness, food, tv. Other times are filled with ideas of new ways of seeing, of feeling, of utilizing all my senses. Today, the idea of looking at art, perhaps openning myself up to re-visit my own ability to create is dawning. Thanks for the gentle nudge into Lisa's art gallery! I also love that she admitted to listening to one song over and over. I do that too(frequently, it is one of CK's songs). It is my older brother's voice from, oh, 25 years ago that brings up feelings of wrongness about that, when showing me how to listen to one of his albums...carefully following specific instructions from taking it out of it's alphabetical filing, to listening just one time, to putting it back just right, but not before the ablum is dusted. My 17 year old son is very creative and requires a messy room to feel comfortable to create...drives me crazy sometimes and going into his room to find something overwhelms me. Clearly, he mirrors my dormant creative side. My goodness, I can only imagine what a pig pen this house will be if I really let loose! The best I can do to let loose is listen to my favorite song over and over! If I sound prudish, it is only because I feel prudish, hesitant to jump into the messy wonderful world of stimutating my senses and openning up my creative mind. Standing and looking and smiling on the side lines at the moment. I will let you know when I jump! Or rather, leap. I think I may need to SEE that net first!

Much of my work is inspired by that of other creative minds and hands. Thanks for the reminder -- Lisa's wonderful work is some of my favorite and her blog is a must read.

It is important for us to become aware of those that create special impression on our lives – that opens areas of our brains. This awareness can help us to be alert for those influences that impact and open our brain cells. We choose to be in those places or in the presence of those people, events, situations, objects so that we help ourselves to open our brain cells to a new way of looking, feeling and living life. Creating such a list of inspirations and influences we enhance our capabilities to greater heights and live life more fully.

I have never lived any other place where I wouldl go downtown just to take a walk....all those galleries and little cafes. You are right. There is a lot of inspiration there.

You have a wonderful way of making me feel like we are good friends chatting away. I too love to browse and soak in all the wonderful talent that is out there. It is a great way to get the creative juices flowing and just put a smile on my face. Thank you for making me smile.

I write, but I don't just take inspiration from other writers. I love plays and movies, and so many songs and paintings have inspired settings, characters, plot lines, etc. Not to mention conversations, people I know, and the like. Stephenie Meyer's popular young adult vampire story <i>Twilight</i> began as a retelling of a dream she had had, and grew into a bestseller and the first in a series. In short, I think that art comes from everywhere if you are observant and open to it. I love the thought of finding inspiration everywhere, because I think that is so true for so many people.
