Take time in your day for you - even if it's just a minute - to close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine yourself in a wonderful place…

Now get a pen and your journal, and write…

My Inspiration

It's people that move me
Not places or things
Although some animals thrill me
When they flutter their wings

Maybe it's life
That pulls at my heart
Making it quiver
At nature's jump start

The rush of the water
At Niagara Falls
The sight of some cliffs
Forming massive rock walls

So, I guess there are places
That make my heart sing
As I aim with my camera
At what nature will bring

—Edie (Koch) Suarez
