Finding Your Creative Inspiration And Sticking With It

One day several years ago my husband found this free bike on the street. He brought it home, pumped up the tires and found that it worked like new! It had no bells or whistles, no basket nor kickstand (like the one above:), no flashy color or brand. But it turned out the bike ran perfectly! Not just perfectly, I actually love this bike!

It took me a while to start using it regularly but when I did, I discovered I really enjoyed it. I like the weight of it, I like how it glides uphill perfectly without me having to adjust the gears (because I prefer having less to think about when I'm riding Lol!). I like that it’s a "female" bike and that I can easily move my legs over when I’m getting off or on. I like that the handlebars are high so I can sit tall without cranking my neck and getting a tight neck and upper back from another modern gadget. As a result in the past couple months I’ve been super inspired to take this bike to discover parts of the city that I wouldn’t normally visit or bike to.

Just as a little background, my husband and daughter often prefer staying in the city during the summer and or holidays whereas I prefer visiting some place new so we often have to find a compromise. But lately I anticipate weekends with the excitement of a little kid. I can't wait to go on our next bike adventure!

Two and a half years ago I never would have thought that I would have a working manuscript to my first book. But just like my bicycle I followed my inspiration and saw where it led me. I hope that you’ll be a part of this next chapter in my voice and movement offerings when I unveil it this November. But in the meantime, tell me where is your inspiration leading you? Please send a reply. I love hearing from you all!
