Definition:
Inspiration: “that which inspires; the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.”
in Action:
In 2014, I was inspired to start an Art ministry and to teach the Zentangle method. Then, we expanded our focus to include other drawing and painting techniques. We continue to be inspired by learning about art from different places/times and by exploring ways to share our art with others.
in Breathing:
Interesting thing about the word “inspiration” … it also means “the drawing in of breath; inhalation.” Our time together really is “a breath of fresh air.” I believe this is because we focus on relaxing. We encourage each other. We re-define “mistakes” as “opportunities for doing something else.” We celebrate.
