some inspirations {AW}

imagining with 52 Figments
listening to the soundtrack from something's gotta give
reading the time traveler's wife
waking up early with mary oliver
eating chocolate
reflecting on brokeback mountain - if you have seen the movie and wish you could talk about it with others, visit the movie's web site. people have shared some of their stories and feelings after seeing the movie.
drinking mug after mug of green tea
taking moments to see the world through the camera lens. but also realizing that sometimes you need to put the camera down and soak up the world around you.
and truly, the biggest inspiration of all has been reading the blogs of other participants in the AW group. I am moved again and again by the stories, honesty, and creativity. I continue to realize that I am not alone.

Thank you so very much for your post on my site! And now I have discovered yours as a result. From your profile I see we have a lot of the same loves, esp Brian Andreas's work and Mary Oliver! Did you know that Night is Oprah's book of the month? I was so glad to see it as its one of the most cherished on my shelf. I'm really looking forward to seeing Elie Wiesel next month on her show.
Have a wonderful day and stay in touch!

Liz, I've had fun reading through your blog and found several phrases I may have to borrow. Of course if I do, I'll be sure to mention you and your blog.

Your inspiration list is great. I followed some of your links and got a little side tracked before remembering to come back here and thank you for your share!

I'm enjoying the blog hopping thing with other AW-ers also. May you have continued enjoyment from your AW activities!
