It’s tough time for the world right now. We all feel and express our emotions in different ways. In an attempt to keep inspiration, energy, and hope up (while keeping overwhelm at bay), here are 5 items that have made an impact on me.
 
LOVE is a sculpture by Ukrainian artist Alexander Milov showing two distressed adults sitting back to back. Inside their “cages", two children face each other trying to break through to connect. Showcased at The Burning Man festival in Nevada, this rebar and acrylic sculpture reveals the conflict between what adults want/need/feel vs. a child's natural tendency to make connections.

On this floating platform dock @ Maliah Beach Club, you can literally walk on waves along a 155-metre-long (508 feet) pier made from recycled plastic - environmental and adventurous! More on IG @maliahbeachclub

What do we need to get through hard things…this song! Combo psychedelic funk, hip hop, and pop, it's got a unique sound that makes me want to dance AND find that damn yellow brick road. Original and unapologetic, with kick-ass music video animations by Gary Dumbill, this song rocks.  
 
WHERE IS YOUR YELLOW BRICK ROAD?

I had so much fun curating this list of The 100 Most Inspiring Books, which include self-development, creativity, marketing, psychology, kid lit, and more! 
 
The super bonus is making it easy to get your own copy through my links to purchase via amazon (you pay the same, I get a wee bit of a cut). 
 
Including well known authors like Brene Brown, Seth Godin, James Clear, and Elizabeth Gilbert, to newer authors you may not know, get inspired and let me know which books inspired you the most! 
 
ANY OF YOUR  FAVS ON MY LIST? RECOMMENDATIONS? 
 

 
Thanks for reading and til soon thrivers!

Hey Busy Bees - we're meeting weekly online for 90 min 6 times to declutter and organize those files, folders, desktops, cabinets, supplies, counters, etc. in real-time March 23 - April 28.
