The Inspiration Project

Recently, our community saw the passing of one of our bright and energetic lights.

As those who love her gathered close to support her in her final days, an amazingly inspiring idea emerged.  Someone suggested gathering our scrap fun fur, to make a quilt to wrap her up in love.

A special day was arranged, and folks brought their sewing machines, sergers, bags of fun fur, bits of embellishment, food, drinks, music, and love for our friend.  By the end of the day, there were rows of finished squares, all made by different people, showing their affection and support.  Ultimately, the squares were made into two quilts of furry love, delivered to our friend who was “overjoyed”, and they now belong to her two children.  Friends from out of town sent in their furry contributions, and some late arrivals were made into pillows for our beloved’s family, to send love to them too.

“Quilts delivered, we poured a whole lotta love into those squares and it shows.”

Thank you, Y, for coming up with this brilliant idea.  I am so grateful to be part of a community like this.

We have so  many bright lights in this community, that I could spend ages highlighting them all.  We are truly blessed to have so many imaginative and inspiring people.  Someone who continues to inspire me is Little Woo.

It is so rare to meet someone who moves in the world with such authenticity and clarity, as Little Woo does.  Her creativity, compassion, playfulness, and personal grace swirl together with a beautiful alchemy.  She is both engaged and engaging, and brings a unique energy that is admirable and inspiring.  I have had the great pleasure to speak with her, as well as see her express herself though many diverse artistic ventures.

Little Woo is currently developing her next workshop series, “The Evolution of Inspiration”, which I am very much looking forward to.

Thanks to Julie, whose link quoted this blog:

“Fear is epic.  Whatever it is that scares you, you’ve simply just got to want it bad enough–bad enough that the pain of NOT moving forward is greater than the pain of taking action.  Doing this will give you no other choice but to rally every single cell of your body, mind, heart, and soul to move forward andfight for it–honorably, and with conviction.  And then make it yours.”
