What do good reader do? Reread Ms. Trei.

I love to read.
Always have.
Everything I read becomes a part of me.
Love to be inspired. To learn new things. To have my point of view expanded and enlightened and challenged. I find that reading helps my mind make connections. Reminds me of certain things. Makes others more clear.
I try really hard to live my life with my eyes wide open. Always on the lookout for something with the power to touch me, to light my fire, to make me want to write, create, record, photograph, laugh, cry, tell a story, etc.I like reading books about creativity, about new ways to think about life and the world. They have the power to get me seriously fired up. So much so that sometimes I can't let myself read before bed. I am inspired by laughter. By giggles. By sunlight. By words. By the feeling of paint on my fingertips. By looking through the lens. As for holding on to inspiration once I find it, I try not to hold on too tight. I ride the wave. I take full advantage of the feeling, of the sensation; I revel in it. And when it is gone I don't hold my breath. I take a break. I breathe. I know it will come again. I am alive.
