“He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.” ~ Albert Einstein
There is so much about this vast and beautiful universe that I find inspiring. Here are just a few examples of places, people, and things that I derive inspiration from.

Tees for Change “At Tees For Change we believe in the power of positive intention. Positive words and thoughts create a positive life. . . . While wearing a tee shirt with an inspiring message on it, not only do we remind ourselves to incorporate more of the phrase on the tee, we also remind others to do the same. This creates positive interactions with the people we encounter throughout our day.”
Gratitude
I literally would not be where I am today without the love and support of all of the wonderful people in my life. If I listed everyone who has touched me in that way, this page would end up being a mile long. But I’d like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the “short list,” those who have provided me with daily inspiration and support on this journey, and allow me to be Who I Am so clearly and absolutely. Thank you!
