Inspiration post – other people’s work

Finding inspiration in others’ work is great. I have started reading all sorts of peoples’ work online in all sorts of formats. I find listening to spoken words is really encouraging and listening to the way people speak their poetry can be inspiring. Learning new words from people can change the way you write your…

Inspiration post – New Year’s Resolutions

I’m not one for making New Year’s resolutions. I see them as a waste of time and setting yourself up to fail by putting unreasonable expectations on yourself. My husband and I truly believe that if you want to make changes to yourself then you shouldn’t have to wait until the first day of a…

Inspiration post – The Sound of Music

I LOVE music. I have to have it playing everywhere. It sets my mood and can change my mood in every way. All different types of music, in any setting. In my car, it has to be as loud as possible, and I either sing along at the top of my voice or listen and…

Inspiration post – The love of reading

Since writing poetry, I have been reading books in a new light. I find myself really taking notice of the way they write words, how that in itself can be poetry.

Inspiration post – Kookaburra energy

I am listening to the Kookaburra energy at present. They have been in my life for a couple of years, noticeably, giving me signs. They are teaching me to laugh, pay attention and take life less seriously. I can hear them laughing daily and we have a family of four that live on our land.…

Inspiration post – Connections

Connection. What is that word? Why do we crave it so much, and why do we distance ourselves from it? This post might be a bit rambly today. No notes written, no inspiration… I had nothing prepared. That’s not me. However, I attended a meeting this morning.. A group of men and women coming together…

Inspiration post – Element of Earth

I feel drawn to the element of earth. It’s a very powerful element as it’s related to everything. All the other elements come from it and assist it in its being. Whenever you eat food, you swallow a part of the earth. We essentially take in part of the planet to sustain our body. The…

Inspiration post – Element of Fire

Fire is always an element I struggle to work with. I’ve noticed during spell work and rituals that no matter how hard I try, I cannot get anything to burn or stay alight. Even my friends have commented on it. So, as such, I also find bringing any sort of fire element into my writing…

Inspiration post – Element of Water

I love water. The feel of it on my skin in a shower, swimming in a pool or just paddling in the ocean, but I prefer a body of water within a forest. I love waterfalls. The power of the water rushing over rocks is amazing. The feeling it gives me is unexplainable. I adore…

Inspiration post -Element of Air

I find inspiration through the elements. Our thoughts and emotions can strongly be linked by the elements. Being a Libra, I am an Air sign and this element is very strong for me. Air signs have strong emotions and love to talk or tell stories – which I do through my poetry. Air can be…
