What To Do With A Blank Wall

We have a huge wall in the living room that I've never been happy with. I'm dreaming of a gallery and wondering if I can get away with filling the whole thing with pretty frames?

Friday Favorites

Yay! It's finally Friday, which means it's time for Friday Favorites. You'll find my favorite links below, and I hope you like them! First things first, though...

As you can probably tell by the infrequent posts this week, I've got a lot going on including rethinking the content/direction of this blog. Many of you write blogs, and you know how exciting, rewarding and, yet, demanding it can be. It's ironic that a blog about inspiration is severely lacking in it. I'm taking some time to think and, hopefully, come up with fabulous new content.

So, that explains the picture posts throughout the week. They're easy and sometimes it really is true -- a picture is worth a thousand words -- so you'll find many more of them in the coming weeks. As I step away, I do want to thank you for reading For Your Inspiration. I love that you stop by here, especially when you comment on something I've posted. There's no better way to make a blogger's day!

A special thanks to Sandy, Paula, Laura and Maggie who have surprised and delighted me by coming back again and again to motivate me with your always kind words!

...and, finally, my weekly favorites. Have a great weekend!

Can We Talk About Talking About Inspiration?

photo by Sabino

For the past six weeks, I've had so much fun posting the series, "Talking About My Inspiration." You can read each of the interviews here. I've enjoyed working with each blogger and finding out what inspires them and how they handle the mountains of inspiration that come our way daily.

However, I know asking the same questions over and over can get monotonous. If I were answering them for the first time, I'd have a difficult time trying not to sneak a peek at what other people said and then feeling like I need something brilliant and unique to say.

Maybe that's just me.

I am wondering if it's time to take a break from the series or change it up (maybe ask different questions, make it a monthly column) or just leave it alone. But, I'm terrible at making decisions.

So, I'm hoping you will help and let me know how you feel about this series. I have three simple questions...
  1. What have you liked best about the series, "Talking About My Inspiration?"
  2. Would you like to see more interviews from fellow bloggers?
  3. If so, what would you like to see differently, if anything?
I would love it if you would leave a comment and let me know what you think. Shoot me an email if you'd like.

Thanks for reading, and I can't wait to see what you have to say!

Photo For Inspiration

What's inspiring?
Sunlight streaming in, paintings casually propped against the wall and a stack of girly umbrellas. I wouldn't mind walking in the rain if I had one of these to hold over my head.
