Lately, I have had a few people ask me how I stay inspired. I have been blogging for 2 1/2 years now and people wonder how I constantly come up with something to write about each day. That was honestly one of my biggest concerns when I started this blog. How on earth would I find something to write about each day?! And, I have been so surprised at how easy it is most of the time to stay inspired. Have I gone through dry spells? Of course. But overall, I love this little space. It is a creative outlet for me and brings so much joy to my life.
12 Things that inspire me:
1. Kevin
Sometimes he inspires a blog post without even knowing it or trying to, and other times, I bounce ideas off of him and he gives me even better ones. I am so blessed he supports my little hobby so much and of course, my love for him is a big inspiration.
2. Brooke
She has only been in this world 3 1/2 months (well 12 1/2 if you count the time in my belly) and she has already inspired so many posts. She is so fun to write about, plus baby stuff is adorable!
3. The Bible
I always quote that the bible is my inspiration and its so true. There are so many examples of amazing women in the bible. On top of that, it is the inspired word of God and so important to my life and walk with the Lord. I find hope, joy, inspiration, comfort and so much more in it daily.
4. Pinterest
Because seriously, I could spend hours on pinterest…
5. Instagram
& ditto, I love the explore tab. all the pretty things..
6. Starbucks
If I could afford it, I would be at Starbucks on the daily. I just love iced caramel macchiatos, passion tea lemonades and peppermint mochas. I always feel a little more creative with a Starbucks cup in my hand.
7. Nordstrom
It is so relaxing to walk in Nordstrom. & Target or any mall for that matter. I just love shopping and Nordstrom is one of my favorite stores. I love that I can find good deals on things and great designers, plus it always so clean and elegant. Nordstrom is just classic.
8. Random acts of kindness
The kindness of others is overwhelming at times. I love hearing stories or seeing little random acts of kindness. In our busy world, people don’t often take the time to notice others around them so random acts of kindness make my heart warm.
9. Country Music
Hearing a good country song on the radio just puts me in a good and brings a smile to my face.
10. Sunshine
I am a sunshine person. I tend to be sad and really uninspired when its gloomy out. I need sunshine in my life on the real.
11. Pool Days
I guess this kind of goes with sunshine. I love going to the pool, beach or lake. I just love being out on the water relaxing. Its the best.
12. Candy/Queso/Margs – Food in General
I love food, particularly food that is bad for you. Every time I go to the grocery store, I get myself a “treat” because I went… so obviously I deserve one (typically a whatchamacallit). & I love good queso and a margarita on the weekend. Tacos at midnight. Pancakes for dinner. Cereal all day long. Its a real struggle. I love food y’all.
