What Inspires Us {Blog it Forward}


Posted by tlcinspirations

Blog it ForwardVictoria at sfgirlbybay, is the creator and inspiration for this post, so, Victoria, we thank you. You have brought us back to the beginning…to where our hearts are. We are grateful for the opportunity to share a little insight into our creativity, which is inspired by our surroundings, and, lucky for us, we are surrounded by unwavering love and beauty. Our, hopefully, unique way of sharing this “glimpse” with you is to put it to a song, in a video :)

NOTE: “Inspirations” video, including all photographs in the video were taken by either Rachel Bovee or Bonnie Moritz and are, therefore, copyrighted © 2010 by TLC Inspirations. Music is titled “Blessed” by Brett Dennen.

I imagine you caught Ink + Wit, since their Blog it Forward post was yesterday (Mar. 3rd), but if you haven’t, please go back and take a look at what is inspiring them. And, after watching our video, please head over to Jack + Jenn for their Blog it Forward post, tomorrow! I don’t know about you, but we are definitely enjoying the “Blog it Forward” phenomenon…keep ‘em coming!


Nature’s Dance

Nature’s Dance

The stars cast a gentle warmth around me,

seducing my spirit away

to forgotten seasons.

Longing to be there…

twirling in the moon’s essence.

Memories caress fleeting thoughts,

as layers of dandelions and cherry blossoms

pierce the twilight hours.

Propped up against the porch railing,

thoughts slowly diminish,

leaves rustle delicately against the breeze,

and I swear I can hear the moonlight reaching for the grass below.

Crickets chirp in peaceful rhythm

with a confidence I’d never noticed.

The cool air grazes my face,

reminding me of little girl indulgences…

staring straight up into the clouds

and recklessly spinning in circles,

dew-speckled grass wetting my toes,

I turn to climb that weeping willow high enough to

conquer the shadows.
