Inspiration is everywhere. With our hectic schedules, we sometimes fail to notice. Let’s take a few minutes for some much needed “Me Time” to look for sources of inspiration and then figure out how to channel that energy into a burst of creativity. Let’s go…

Inspiration – Sunset at the Beach:

Key West, Florida is just one of the many places around the world where people gather to watch the setting sun. Nature puts on quite a dazzling show with bursts of color, luminous clouds and reflections upon the rippling water, thrilling viewers of all ages.

Inspiration – A Nebula & Starry Sky:

Staring up at the night sky, we realize how small we really are in such a vast universe. From the time we are children, we wish upon the stars, hoping one day the person, place, or thing we want most will magically appear. United we stand under the twinkling night sky and realize anything is possible.

Inspiration – Plumeria Tree Blossoms:

Although they are native to Central and South America, plumeria trees are best known for their colorful, aromatic presence in Hawaii. Visitors are often greeted with plumeria flower leis, which have an unforgettably sweet scent, perfuming the air in this island paradise.
