This semester I am taking a Creative Writing class. So far, it has been incredible. It makes me think for myself and helps me find my inner artist. Day one of the class we were asked to record in our portfolios what gave us inspiration, so I would like to share mine with you.
Travelling-Seeing new things and experiencing different cultures can be fascinating. How people live in different societies can open your eyes to so many things. The way I view the world today is completely different than the way I viewed things a few years ago.
People-I love people. When I meet someone new and hear his or her story, it just feels great to me. Everyone comes from different backgrounds that shape him or her into the person they are today. What an amazing thing!
Finishing a good book-When I finish a good book, I am in euphoria! I feel outstanding and it makes me want to go out into the world and do great things. Thank God for literature.
Horses-The sheer beauty that a horse possesses is breath taking. Horses have always been my outlet for everything. If I was angry, sad or happy, my horse could somehow always tell. They are inspiring creatures.
Yoga-This is one of my newer inspirations, but I find that it may be one of my greatest. It is relaxing and allows me to release all my stresses and focus on just me. Namaste.
New York-One of the coolest places on the planet. So many writers and actresses/actors have become successful through the opportunities this city offers. Someday soon I would love to live there. This gives me something to work/look forward to.
Kristen Wiig-My favorite actress. She is currently on the cast of SNL and I find her to be brilliant. She is successful and did not start her acting career until her mid to late twenties, way cool.
Giving-There is no greater satisfaction, in my opinion. To know that you may have made a slight difference in the life of someone else is enough for me.
A nice cardigan-When I’m dressed nicely with a cardigan on, I feel invincible. Maybe that’s nerdy but I don’t care.
So tell me, what inspires you?
What inspires me? That my children have grown up to be such wonderful, crazy, self-less, adventurous children of God. You are an inspiration to so many, Katie. Keep your sweet heart and inquiring mind and adventurous spirit. You make this world a brighter place!
ReplyDeleteyou are invincible with a cardigan on! Yoga is inspiring me by finding a new way to worship God and take care of my body. I would say my bike too, but I ran over it kinda of. I really just dragged it a little, but still it is in the shop. :(
ReplyDeleteThis is going to sound strange but anger inspires me. I'm sure you've heard of bulletin board material used in athletics. Well, nothing much has been written about me but plenty has been said. When I combine that with my steel trap mind and OCD, it makes for some serious motivation. I've been able to take the edge off some through professional and amateur pharmacists but it is still a large part of my life. I'm so glad it doesn't seem to be a part of yours.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about Wiig. She is the most gifted comedienne since Radner to appear on that show.
As for girls in sweaters- they have inspired me every since puberty (especially the fuzzy ones).
I hope your New York adventure is still part of your plans. One of my many regrets is never trying my plan after college in the "city". But you will be successful wherever you go. I don't pray but I will wish you luck. Adios Cousin.
What inspires me is getting to spend 2 weeks with you in a different culture...not the everyday American experiences and to have watched you mature into a woman who loves the Lord and the Russian kids....
