When I took a moment to reflect on where my inspiration truly comes from, the key themes revealed themselves easily. Though the list is simple, it captures the essence of what’s most important to me.

• Courage – People who speak up, even when their voices shake.

• Nature – The beauty, simplicity, and constant renewal of the natural world.

• Elders – Their wisdom, stories, and life experiences.

• Art and Literature – The way they express deep truths and spark my imagination.

• Resilience – The strength people show in overcoming challenges.
