inspired

I love it when people inspire me.  Most of the time, they have no clue that they’re actually doing it.  But I tell you, the feeling that consumes my insides when inspiration strikes is a total rush – I love it; I crave it; I need it in my life.  Although so much inspires me, I don’t usually think of myself as the one inspiring others so seeing this writeup by Loise on Aussie Scrap Source this morning was awesome – thanks Loise!  I am so glad that something I did prompted a spark of inspiration within you! xox

That’s what it’s all about hey.  Inspiring each other.  Getting the juices flowing.  

To see some more of Loise’s AMAZING creative juices, (and I mean, you will DIE at how amazing she is) visit her personal website here.  To see more of her Aussie Scrap article featuring moi, go here.

I was also happy to see Shriners Hospital for Children using some of my Kelly-Rae inspired art for their holiday cards this year.  It makes me so happy when others enjoy my creations.  

To see the other e-cards made from my art or to donate to Shriners, feel free to visit here.  I love Shriners, my children get exceptional care there and, it’s free.  Shriners have been like angels to me.  While we struggled to figure out ways to pay mounting medical debt in the US, Shriners were like this amazing beacon of hope for us giving the children care without the worry of a bill at the end of each visit. Thank you Shriners! xox

Now, here is what is inspiring me personally today:

1.  City and Colour’s facebook photos – I love them!  Especially this one.  I don’t know who the photographer is, but I find this picture thoroughly inspiring.  I love ev-er-y-thing about this photograph.  EV-ER-Y-THING.

And get this, my friend Ryan took this picture of Haun’s Hill Massacre recently – it was his first pro still-photo shoot (he is a filmographer and usually works with moving images – he is making the transition into still images look so easy!)  His composing skills put mine to shame!  I am so inspired by this picture and him!

2.  I haven’t been able to stop listening/watching this: Montserrat Caballe “Casta diva” at the Thèatre Antique d’Orange. July 20th, 1974.  I find this performance completely mesmerizing in not only her vocal perfection, but the enchanting way the breeze brings the whole stage to life.  Beautiful.  (Just listen to that crowd roar at the end.)

3.  And lastly, I have been inspired a lot lately by David, my friend with the beeeeeautiful tenor voice (he is currently with WA Opera).  He has also begun giving me classical singing lessons (brave man!) and has been on the other end of my lens quite a lot this week.  Here are some of my favorites:

(As you can see, we’ve been having a bit of fun – haha)

So has anything inspired you this week?  If so, please share!  Maybe it will inspire me too!

Love Jaz
