What Inspires Me?
What Inspires Me: Street Art
The streets of New York are like a living museum, the spray painted markings of graffiti found on practically every street.
In recent years the message of graffiti has changed from one of “rebellious destruction” to “inspiring design,” with artists often spraying words of motivation on stone and concrete.
This “Live Your Dream” tag is camouflaged between the scribbles of artists’ past on an abandoned building on the Lower East Side. Graffiti like this stops me in my tracks and inspires me to recognize the city – much like our lives – as an ever changing, ever shifting piece of art.
Beauty is everywhere, but we must be open to see it.

What Inspires Me: Hugs!
I used to take my hugs for granted. In the past, a quick touch and peck on the cheek is all I would give.
Now I let my hugs linger. I squeeze my loved ones tighter. I massage their backs and hold them for just a couple seconds longer. Because human touch is powerful. It’s what connects us, what reminds us we are loved and that we can give love.
When we are down, a hug lifts our spirits. When we feel alone, a hug reminds us we never really are. Receiving and giving hugs inspires me because it reminds me of what’s most real in life: love! Have you inspired someone with a hug today?

What Inspires Me: Meditation
Finding 15 minutes of meditative stillness in the morning and in the evening inspires me to be focused, to be present, to be peaceful. I’ve found that meditation clears my mind and lessens anxiety, stress and pressure. I’m inspired to smile more, to worry less, and to feel grateful for all which enters my life … both “good” and “bad.” Because while we can’t always change the world around us, we can change the world within us.

What Inspires Me: Thrifting
Thrifting is my art. When I walk into a thrift store, I feel the energy of the clothing speak to me – as if each piece was a different color, material or texture I can put on my artists’ easel.
Shopping secondhand inspires me to expand and challenge my creative self. “Will this silk leopard top work with my wardrobe at home?” “Can I switch up my style and wear a preppy tartan skirt?” “This jacket doesn’t fit me … but perhaps it’d be a great gift for my friend.”
Thrifting inspires me to experiment with my style without breaking the bank and to buy gifts for friends “just because” I found the perfect treasure hiding between the racks. Like an artist, I want my creations to be seen by the world and inspire others to shop secondhand, to buy vintage, and to feel beautiful inside and out wearing thrift store style.
