Inspiration comes in many forms and has the potential for making us better. It’s wonderful listening to a master violinist and any musician finds within themselves a desire to be as good as someone that good! It’s also fabulous to walk through an art museum and see the finest pieces of art that have been inspiring artists, and pretty much the whole world for centuries.
There are aspects of inspiration that make us want to raise the standard in our own pursuits. When we find ourselves inspired by another artist we need to turn it into our own originality.
I was searching through radio stations not long ago and heard the lyrics of an old hip-hop song by N.W.A called “Express Yourself”. The words that really resonated with me was “Don’t be another sequel…”. We can see the wonderful things that others do and allow us to be original.

New Discoveries
I’ve lived on the Central Coast of California for almost 30 years and there are still places that I have yet to discover. I guess that’s how it is when you live in a place where tourists come! Within the last six months I’ve been to three places that I’d never been to before. I finally made it to the Monarch Grove in Pismo Beach where the migrating monarchs visit each year and visited Mission San Miguel just a few miles north of us. This weekend I discovered a swimming hole just a few miles south of us that I’ve passed by lots of times but didn’t have a clue existed.
Does anyone have any suggestions of other places to see on the Central Coast that I might have missed?
I am so excited and motivated to keep on discovering this wonderful place we call home, with my camera close by of course!
