Inspiration: Where do you look?

Right now my brain feels like its about to explode with the amount of ideas and projects I would like to do.  Maybe I will be lucky enough to win the lotto one day so I can just "be"  to do these projects... or maybe my boyfriend is sitting on the winning numbers RIGHT NOW!  I would love to just be inspired, to inspire and create!

What inspires you?

For me, lately and the past few months its been an array of things.  Being exposed to different types of music...music I have never heard before and music I have been reintroduced to.  Its been the many new faces I have met and listening to their perspective...my boyfriend, the beach...riding a bike through the city and seeing it in a totally different way.  Its been going to new restaurants with amazing food, field trips through out the city...reading blogs, watching TED, power meetings with my friend Lori, and my sister who is excited to be making some big changes!  

Its also been my friends successes...its inspiring to see the people I hold dear work so hard and receive reward or attain what they have been working hard to achieve.  

Here are a few blogs and websites that were passed on to me today by friends and colleagues on Facebook, LinkedIn, Blogger and Twitter. (all places you can find me as well!)


Hope this helps you to stay inspired and feel good about what you are working towards. Happy Sunday!  :o)

Field Trip: California Academy of Sciences



FINALLY!  February 19th, Tony, Megan and I went to the California Academy of Sciences.

I can only take credit for a few of these pictures because once Tony got a hold of my camera I didn't see it again until after we left!  Such a fun day!  Can you tell?  


Its hard to say what my favorite exhibit was at the California Academy of Sciences.  Penguins are my favorite animal so seeing the feeding was pretty fun.  The oldest couple had been together for 15 years. You could tell which penguin was with who by the color of their arm band.  As we sat in the colored square on the carpet surrounded by anxious children about to pee their pants with excitement, we were debating on which penguins we would take home with us.  

It had already been determined that we would hide them in Megan's purse and she would keep them at her house.  Tony wanted one of the molting penguins...well, since we couldn't agree on which ones to take home with us we didn't go through with the plan after all.  However, we knew our plan would have worked if we wanted it to!


The dioramas were pretty cool too.  Megan had pointed out that the lighting on the lions had made them look like they were watching tv.  Pretty hilarious!  Check it out! 



Many, many, many beautiful fish, reptiles and crustaceans!  The underwater tunnel was was probably one of the places I could sit for hours...actually, I think we did sit there for a good 15-20 minutes!  So relaxing.



This picture just makes me smile...Or maybe it was just something Tony had said.  :o)


Spiraling up the dome was pretty fun as well.  Inside is a living rain forest with the temperature warm and humid. It was quite beautiful and as you spiraled up you saw more and more free flying birds and butterflies.



Nice escape from the everyday.
