43things

I recently started up an account on 43things. I hope that by setting some goals, I will find them easier to achieve. I tried to link it up to my blog but it wouldn't let me...which was disappointing. Nevertheless, I shall endeavour to post the entry and the link in a post here. http://http://www.43things.com/person/BrightDelicate My first entry was as such: Write a list of all my heroes, teachers, guides, mentors and inspiration leaders. "Loving sparkly, inspirational people" I think that everyone should grab hold of what inspires them. Sources of inspiration empower us and lift us up to new places, or out of the emotional ditch that we have fallen into. Find out who inspires you, emulate them, surround yourselves with that which comforts you. Let's support eachother. Here are my first three sources of guidance and inspiration, in no particular order: 1. My mother. I know that many people would argue that children are in some ways obligated to say this or think it. But I don't agree. Not everyone is a good parent. My mother is. Supporting, loving, the most patient and giving; her smile and glittering eyes light up the room and she makes life wonderful for all that know her. She gives the best hugs and surprises and also loves to make little treats to bolster peoples self-esteem at work. Beautiful. 2. SARK. Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy. Writer, poet, artist, wild-woman, life-lover and liver extraordinaire. Her books are filled with such joy and spirit and heart that it is honestly infectious. Sound advice and wisdom, she will take you under her wing. Glorious. 3. Cassandra Mortmain. Protagonist/heroine from one of my favourite novels: "I Capture the Castle." Not only is this a must read but the characterisation is genuine, heart-felt and real. Follow her wit and wonder throught the throwes of life and it's ups and downs, especially where love is concerned. I will never tire of her zest for discoving the joys of life. I aim to compile a list of around 10-15 fonts of inspiration. :)
