I Brake for Inspiration

Do you ever sit in front of an empty canvas or computer screen or journal page and find that nothing will flow? That's a good sign that it's time to brake for inspiration.

That was me today. I grabbed the essentials – my hubby and my camera – and off we went for a stroll. It certainly helped that we happen to be in beautiful San Antonio for a long weekend.

Here are some of the results ...

What do you do when the ideas refuse to flow?

  3. Yes! My camera is my friend :-) So are my "fine art" books, and all the books at my public library. (So is the occasional trip to the movies to see something uplifting like Iron Man 2...)

  4. Great suggestions, Cyndi. Thank you. My problem with the art books is if I pick one up, I can't put it down. lol.

  6. Don't get me started on the wonderful food there, Deb. I should do a half marathon to take off the pounds I put on!

    Great memories.
