Have you ever noticed that once a great idea is named, it can snowball into other great ideas? Inspiration is free, it is organic and it is everywhere, so why does it seem so hard to find sometimes? When writing this, I was stumped with the enormity of writing not only my first editorial in years, but also the first editorial for the first edition of the Herald. No pressure, I assure you.

So, I started thinking of what was important to me. My family, my work, my friends and I realized how much I missed “myself”. I’ve been uninspired for a while now, nothing seems to really fill that void where writing, singing and creativity used to reside. Its been filled by PB&J’s, diapers and to-do lists. I’m sad, I feel like I’ve lost my “self” in the madness of parenting.

I pondered upon this thought for a while and got mad. I am involved in many creative endeavors, yet I never seem to make the time for that. Why? Its always more important to get the work done than it is to play. Where is the inspiration in that? It takes five minutes to find something inspirational: A child’s laugh, a poem, a sip of cool water. We should celebrate what inspires us, not toss it aside for other, mundane pursuits.

I think we should all set aside 5 minutes a day for inspiration. Go and find your inspiration for physical, mental, emotional, spiritual or creative means. Its out there, its just waiting to be seen and used. Find your inspiration, and tell us about it!
