I got that fire in my soul.
If I learned anything about myself during that Desire Map session, I learned that I crave the act of creating- in the non sexual sense, well on this blog anyway- this isn't that kind of space. Hahaha. That got dangerous rather quickly.
I love feeling inspired and I thrive when I am making something. Geez, now I can't get my head out of the gutter.
And what I've discovered with her is that when we put our creative minds together we end up having even more fun. It is great to have someone who gets how I work and who is constantly inspiring me with new ideas. I can't help but feel infused when I am in her presence. It also helps that she is a natural cheerleader who will make anyone in her surroundings feel like a freaking rock star. We need more people like her in our lives.
I don't know what floats your boat, but I think we should all be seeking out friendships with people who understand who you are. Finding yourself a tribe who motivates, inspires and encourages you can be one of the most uplifting things in life.
Who knows what kind of fun we'll come up with, but I guarantee that we have a zillion zany ideas when we're together- like the Wine Club, which I think we've renamed Wine Not. We figured we like to try fun things around the city, that we might as well be documenting it. We have no goals, no hidden agenda, no desire to land big contracts and make a career out of blogging. We just want to have fun. Which she bop a lu bop, Cyndi Lauper had figured out.
In the end, isn't that what life is all about? Finding something that gives you passion and drive and that makes you itch with creative energy and so what if it isn't bringing real value into the world- if you can find something that you enjoy and gives you an ab workout from all the laughter, shouldn't that be just as worthy?
Holy crap, that was a run on sentence.....and now I'm too proud of it to correct it.
I don't know about you, but after I have spent time with people who play on my energy and know how to push me, I feel better about everything in life. It's like that creative fuel is what keeps me ticking in the normal 9-5.
Go find your tribe and do things that bring you joy, seek inspiration in your life and I bet you will come up with something that gives you purpose too.
What lights that fire in your soul? Stay tuned to see what crazy we can put together or whatever, maybe we'll just drink the wine.
