2010 has come in with all it's glory. A New Year and a clean slate upon which to write 365 days worth of history. How exciting, how inspiring.
Many of you know, for the past number of years I have been choosing a word at the beginning of my year to focus my attention on for the entire year. It helps me get beyond the previous year, focus on new possibilities, gives me ideas for projects and my life as a whole. Many, many creations, expressions, projects, and ideas have come out of my doing this. I have written two songs; created a company; experienced places, and foods, cultures and ideas I never imagined; captured ideas and used them to create some awesome projects; and met people like yourselves who have graced my life with enormous blessings.
In previous years my words have been "Story", "Believe", "Dream", and "Excellence". This year I wanted to do something a little different. This year is the start of a new decade--starting with a "blue moon" and a lunar eclipse. Many, many unique things about this year to come. So thinking what all that meant to me--the word inspiration or inspire came to me.
So it is that this year the word is "Inspiration". What inspires me, who inspires me, who I might inspire, how it might happen and more. You will see things that inspire my work, people who inspire my life, people I hope to inspire, places that have shed some light on what I have been inspired by and most importantly about a belief in the One who is the source of all of this and who gave all of this to me--God. All that I have and all that I am is because of God. It is through God's handiwork that I am able to have and be and do and have my being. It is because of God that I am able to be inspired by all of these things. They are all put there for us to look around and see and be inspired by and we are there to inspire others.
I hope you enjoy these daily "Spots" and that they "Inspire" you--whether it is through an idea, a picture, a question raised, a proposal challenged, or something that is stirring deep down within that needs to be let out. Think on it---"Inspiration". Share what that means to you. ~~B
