Yikes, this is the first post I’ve written using Blogger’s ‘new look’ interface. I know the new look has been around for ages, but I clung like a barnacle to the ‘old look’. I’m no good at having to learn new things. That’s why eventually Blogger just kicked me over to the new look without so much as a ‘guess what’… it’s best just to spring new things on people like me. Ahem.
A (somewhat laboured) segue into my post this week… inspiration. Can you be a creative, inspiring soul when you are adverse to change? Is a barnacle inspirational? I think not.
I am such a creature of habit that if it wasn’t for my need to express myself creatively, I would be very barnacle-boring my whole life. But to stay inspired, we need change, we need diversity, we need adventure. We need to shed our inhibitions and throw ourselves naked into the stream of consciousness that is all around us. Life is better when you’re inspired to express it as uniquely and creatively as you can.
What inspires you most?
Don’t forget to visit me at Kidspot and join in with this week’s 52 Weeks of Grateful project. It’s a fun one! I’ll post on Kidspot usually on Wednesdays and here on Maxabella loves… on Fridays at 9pm. Sorry for mixing it up so much lately while I get settled. Bear with me, lovelies!
So, what’s making you smile today? Add your post to the list below (and please, we love you, but it really does matter that your post is a Grateful one and not just a random) and pretty-please add a link back to this linky or to Kidspot. Then pop over to visit other bloggers who are spreading a little sunshine.
The link is open all week.

I’m a creature of habit, too. If it’s not all right, it’s not the end? I like that!
Sonia @ Life Love and Hiccups says
I get really funny about changes sometimes – I get comfortable with what I know so I completely get what you are talking about 🙂
Thanks for hosting us Bron 🙂 xxx

Ahh, I thought I’d just preview the new look after reading your post and now I can’t go back! Those bogger people are sneaky!!!
Mum on the Run says
Agreed.
I am always apprehensive about change – until in the throes of it and flourishing!

oh i totally agree – I don’t know where I would be without a bit of inspiration….i think thats why i love blogging so much. as a stay at home mother most of the time, it’s lovely to get a bit of inspiration all around me.

I guess it is about having an open mind/heart …. always like the saying “it is about the journey not the destination” too.

Change is good, however it can very scary, especially when you have to learn something new.
