Inspiration: Dancing Flowers

I worked in a park this evening heads down to the laptop when colors reflected on the screen. I picked up my camera beneath my feet and turned to the garden flowers dancing in the front row for tonight’s magical sunset. Ballard Park, Ridgefield, CT, August 2021

Inspiration: Rejuvenation

My work day starts early. I’ve learned to schedule a 10 minute work break at the time of the morning sunrise. It’s different every day in so many ways: The time it rises; The placement of the sun; The colors of the sky; The reflections of the light; the shapes of the clouds. It rejuvenatesContinue reading “Inspiration: Rejuvenation”

Inspiration: Amber Glow Amidst the Snow

I often read poetry about the purity of the snow but it hadn’t resonated as much as it does now. There is something so relaxing to watch it fall so softly. It hides all the imperfections beneath it. It provides a canvas on which to shine a glimmer of hope. You don’t need to goContinue reading “Inspiration: Amber Glow Amidst the Snow”

Inspiration: Snow Glows

It was a winter wonderland for two stormy days with over a foot of snow accumulating. I was distracted from work when the sun finally appeared. The trees cast its shadows on the untouched white drifts. When I want to really see what’s around me I pick up my camera. It’s much more deliberate –Continue reading “Inspiration: Snow Glows”

Inspiration: Take In and Take Out!

In Stamford, Norwalk and Fairfield I can find the best Pho-Ga soup there is at Mecha Noodle. This works great in the winter months as each are relatively near a shoreline for a car picnic with a view! (Go with it, got to get creative with this pandemic 🙂 For those that know me, IContinue reading “Inspiration: Take In and Take Out!”

Inspirations: Holocaust Remembrance Day

In honor of Holocaust Remembrance day I recall my mother, who together with her sister were hidden in a Catholic school in southern France as children of the Holocaust. As recently as 2016 I found the below picture within a French article which happened to include a picture of my mother and her sister (topContinue reading “Inspirations: Holocaust Remembrance Day”

Inspiration: Backyard Pivot

This morning I spilled my morning coffee on my puffy white robe and cream colored couch. I tripped over my dog as he searched for his toy. I burnt my toast while cleaning the couch. I then grew disappointed that I missed driving to find a sunrise by the shore and was uncertain what toContinue reading “Inspiration: Backyard Pivot”

Inspiration: 20th Anniversary- Remembering 9/11 (Westport CT)

This terrorist attack was certainly one where everyone likely remembers where they were. I was facilitating a meeting at a Bank a few blocks away from the World Trade Center. A participant working from home shared that it appeared a plane may have crashed into the World Trade Center. Having grown up in NYC asContinue reading “Inspiration: 20th Anniversary- Remembering 9/11 (Westport CT)”

Inspiration: Whistle Near the Blindman

The title of this blog is not my own. When I was in my teens my boyfriend shared he one day wanted to write a book with this title. He felt that folks needed to be reminded and/or taught that even with only sparing a moment you can support someone else. He thought that perhapsContinue reading “Inspiration: Whistle Near the Blindman”

Inspiration: Dancing Trees

At first I felt awkward going on some of my outdoor adventures on my own. I realized, however, that if I approached it a bit differently I could greatly improve the experience. I decided to make others part of the adventure through my lens. This was actually a huge and successful pivot. Now as IContinue reading “Inspiration: Dancing Trees”
