It is vital to have a constant channel for creative inspiration. I find that as often as possible, when I can experience human nature through art, architecture, music, or an amalgamation of visions through an event such as The Maker Faire, I am transformed and transported.

My husband david and I after seven seasons just started watching American Idol. Instead of watching the season finale, I was working on our new blog. David said he would keep taking photos of me and posting them until I sat down with a cup of tea to watch Adam and Kris.

It is deriving pleasure from perceiving someone else’s pleasure that motivates me.
