"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." Albert Schweitzer
Lately, the flame within has been lit through reading and listening to podcasts. I have been especially inspired by Sally Clarkson and her daughters Joy and Sarah. They co-authored the book Girls Club, which was one of those life-altering books for me. But each of them also blogs and has social media accounts full of interesting and thought-provoking insight. It's so thrilling when someone or something pulls you out of a blah, beige funk to reignite your flame. Since I am such a book girl through and through, it's not surprising that this would happen via a book. But I have also been inspired by Sarah's poetry readings, Sally's podcasts on parenting and Joy's podcasts on art and music.
