when I feel uninspired

I take a long walk in the city with my Polaroid cameras, I get up early to think. I sit at my piano or at the children's section of the local library. I set up my sons' favorite toys while they are at school so we can immediately play together. I knit or buy something for someone I care about.

and despite the doubt, confusion and frustration of the blank page, I realize the value of each moment. enabling me to grow, to be honest, to think creatively about how best to use these moments of discouragement. to make my own rules without feeling guilty about it, and reconnect with my true self.

being able to connect with your true self is so incredible and i love how you center yourself, whether it's in the city with your cameras or arranging your sons' toys.

You got it...that's the ticket. Seeking out inspiration in the 'ordinary' moments...which, of course, instantly transforms them into extra-ordinary ones...

It always amazes me how well you express your feelings in such few words. This post has said it all so beautifully for me. I too go through spells such as this.
