Inspiration List

I found a large Post-It in my journal that said "Inspiration List" at the top, and I found it interesting. This is exactly as I found it, stars, exclamations and all.

Inspiration List

- nature
- fresh air
- good music albums*
- Bjork
- Feist! :-)
- Lamb
- Simon & Garfunkel
- Imogen Heap
- live concerts
- fellow artists
- visual art
- films*
- good conversation
- controversy
- yoga
- books*
- magazines*
- writing*
- theatre shows*
- performing!!!*
- dancing*
- choirs
- choral music
- social breakthroughs
- firsthand diversity
- talking to dear friends

Obviously, this list is very broad and general, and I could break down the specifics from this (and add some things!), but I thought is was interesting that I even wrote an "Inspiration List" in the first place. It was found on a journal page in which I wrote about being an artist and making music. Perhaps I'll find this list helpful as I continue to write songs and stay motivated and, well...inspired.

Really good stuff. And where do I hear Aviva Jaye solo? I need a link or something. That voice. GAH!

Cali Green! Thanks! Cross your fingers; I may have a solo show this Saturday in Bay Ridge BK, up to 3 sets! Meanwhile, go to myspace.com/avivalamusica or my "aviva jaye" FB page and become a fan. Lots of solo tracks at both places. :-)
