Woke up this morning and heard the news about the terrorist plot to bomb flights out of London to U.S. Was a little freaked out because my dad was just there a couple of weeks ago and is supposed to be headed there again soon (I’ll have to talk to him about that!).

I don’t watch the news much these days as it can send me into a funk. I’m highly sensitive and can pick up on the negative energy rather quickly (and Kam don’t like nega-mojo). So there I am driving to work pondering where my dad is right now and if he is indeed leaving for London soon, and I look up to see the most amazing sight.

Today finds us on a party-sunny (or partly-cloudy depending on your outlook) day. So the clouds were mixed up just right as the sun was streaming through the clouds, and I swear to you…there was an angel with a wingspan you could build an island in the sky on. The sun rays were streaming out of the bottom and there was a little space right where the heart would be where the sun was peeking out as well. It really did look like those angels that sit atop Christmas trees. A head, wings spread out, and a bell shaped bottom.

Funny how a little inspiration can go a long way. I immediately felt lighter and had the sense that everything was going to be alright. It can be easy to get stuck in a downward spiral when the scary thoughts start to supersede. But that vision above me was like a light switch and it flipped my whole mood around. Suddenly I was full of love and peace and hope.

That sent me on the thought train of “where do we find inspiration”? I find it in all sorts of random places. Margo Kahnrose’s, who blogs at Of Fish and Family, finds a LOT of inspiration from her kids. She wrote the funniest “poop” post about her son flushing before the smell leaked out. I laughed out loud! Potty stories never get old do they?

So dearest darlings – where do you find inspiration? In nature? While walking? Running? Riding your bike? People watching at the park? Playing with your pets? At an art gallery? Listening to music? Reading a good book? Watching an inspired speaker? Take some time today and BE inspired. Really let the feeling of joy spread through you as the power and energy of a moment captures your heart, stimulates your mind and moves your spirit. I saw an angel today. What do you see?

Peace and she talks to angels,
Kam
