What’s been brewing in your world?

I’ve been feeling that expansiveness of a shift in seasons, that tickle that manifests as giddiness, distractibility and even resentment around responsibilities. I want to splash around in rain puddles (plentiful in both New Jersey and Seattle), plan a summer vacation and write sexy poems.

Taxes, homework, and meetings feel like too tight shoes.

In an attempt to harness that craving for creative freedom, which feels like sparkles being sprinkled on my life, I’ve decided to formalize the feeling.

Thus was born…

The Inspiration Project.

It’s partly an intention to get through the rocky parts of completing my book, partly a desire for more delight in my life, and partly because it sounds like big fun.

Here’s the premise: Most days I will be posting a photo or video of how I created an inspirational environment for myself. Maybe it’s by wearing my most extravagant red lipstick while sitting at my desk (in pajamas). Maybe it’s by covering my walls with some of the most moving quotes I’ve been collecting for over ten years, decorated by my wildly talented teenager. Maybe it’s by working in unlikely places (goodbye office… hello ferry boat?).

Planning will be minimal, as this is also a test of my ever-dwindling spontaneity.

The platform: Instagram. (Not already there? Now’s a great time to join. You can ‘follow’ the project and me here.) I’ve been on Instagram (sort of) for some time, interested in the medium, but never with a good idea how to use it. Now I do.

Here’s where YOU come in. How do you get yourself motivated? What inspires you? What would make the to-do’s of your day feel more like ta-dah’s? Post, share, delight.

Can’t wait to see you there. We’re kicking off March 1^st.

Happy dancing videos? Maybe…
