Have you ever experienced the surprising feelings left behind by a strangely meaningful coincidence?

Having just posted some of my creative works to this blog (see tabs above) I thought I would end the week by writing about inspiration, the creative process and risk taking.

Seeing the ocean for the first time, hearing a new song, or discovering a new food can all be adventures. We often approach a brand-new activity without excessive pre-judgment, thus allowing ourselves a fuller experience.
