Inspire: derived from the Latin word inspirare ( to breathe into). To fill someone with the urge or ability to do or feel something (especially creative). 

I really love this definition!! Don't you? It originally was used to describe Divine inspiration: being filled by the breath of God. Wow! 

Well, I constantly feel filled here at Gathering Spriggs by so many of you who breathe creativity into my soul on a regular basis. Thank You!! Thank you for your presence, for your comments, for your heart! This is my Valentines card to you!! Here is a list of a few more inspiring women who continue to encourage, delight, energize and motivate me:

leslie- a creative mint

vicki-simply hue

rachel follett- lovevly clusters

lara collins bobo-enid

daniella-dress, design, decor

brigitte-covet chicago

eve peach

kristie-making arrangements

elizabeth hatchett-betty hatchett designs

ginny, christy, ginger ( childhood friends from Texas and we get together once a year for girls weekend)

You posted one of my drawings, thank you Heather. I love the definition of Inspire and that it originally meant to be filled by the breath of God. So awesome. Thank you for this wonderful and beautiful Valentine.

Oh, Heather! Thank you so much for including me. I am always so moved by your warmth.

My college president was famous for his graduation advice, “Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.” It's silly, but this little design blog world is inspiring me to live that advice in a completely unexpected way.
