With a little patience it can be brilliant.

Today I not only ate bad food, but I found the motivation to get rid of it. Not a complete improvement but its something.

I have discovered that I find inspiration in my creative friends. Life, style, health and all things creative my education taught me. I am not one of those people that can sit down and stir up some great analogies and put them in the correct place in my story. However I AM one that can sit down with a wave of thought, and analyze its grammar and structure later.

I have a friend that is OBSESSED with antiques.She is the master of turning nothing special into something spectacular. Although I am not...I enjoy the browsing, and the discovery of hidden treasures. I even enjoy the revamping of such purchases....if kept to a minimum.

I also have a friend that can throw together a random outfit and rock it in star quality. I am simple and can throw together something decent. But by no means am I a "risk taker" and a "trend starter".

I have a friend that can cook Thai food, another that can whip up something gluten-dairy-wheat free and make it delish, and another that cooks the BEST Texas Sheet Cake EVER. I can cook, I enjoy cooking and most of the time what I create turns out enjoyable. I DO NOT claim to be a Martha Stewart-Betty Crocker hybrid of woman.

I have a friend whose creative writing and design work puts me to shame. She is a natural at making things sounds amazing and look beyond professional. I can write a story... but it will take multiple drafts, I can design a web site/brochure/logo but it will take some time and inspiration. I can catch an amazing photo of perfection in the moment. But that will take 200 + shots of playing with the aperture and focus on my camera.


I can cook amazing healthy food...with motivation. I can exercise and even enjoy it....with motivation. I can not drink a Diet Coke...with STRENGTH.

Point being...I can do a little of everything and with a little patience it can be brilliant.
