I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.This makes it hard to plan the day. -E. B. White
We all have beauty surrounding us at every moment.
What do you do when you see something that inspires?
Do you take a mental note of it? Do you take a picture of it? Do write about it?

*I love to collect pictures from magazines, newspapers, and calenders. Sometimes I buy cards just for the image or saying. Postcards, cd designs, great lettering. I collected so many of these things that I decided that it was time to create a special home for them! I came up with two main places to house them - the first one being the "Corkboard of Inspiration". This is a great place to have some positive images and words right in front of you.

*The second is organizing the pictures and words into books. I can flip through them anytime I want, which helps me generate ideas and smiles. I don't view the books as a scrapbook project but as a place for organization and easy access to the pictures (though I know there are some people who could turn these books into works of art! maybe in the future!!?). Sometimes I add the pictures to my "ideas" journal along with thoughts or a quote that I have found. All of these things are simple to do...just go out and buy a journal or scrapbook and cut and paste away!
