Things that have inspired me recently...

I found this description of an artist on Etsy today... so true. Something Jen Swift and I have spoken about many times. I found it inspiring or maybe it's just nice to know there are more of us...

" Being passionate about what you do is wonderful, but I find I never have enough hours in a day, and sometimes I really have to let go of making things and focus on being, you know, a kind and attentive human being and not someone who is always somewhere in the middle of a creative process. "

Another inspiring thing I found recently, again on Etsy, was this video. I've been back to watch it several times over the last few days. I'm not really into communal living on this level but I am into living in a beautiful place, surrounded by people you love on land that is home. I love the "big house" in this piece and could easily see myself in a home like that. The views are spectacular. The land in this video really speaks to me. That and the "big house". There is something so peaceful about the land, the green, the open fields, the mature trees...I could live in that everyday.
