What Inspires You?? (E-mail Edition) [Extended]

This is an e-mail swap and the first swap I am hosting! I want to see what inspires people.

Here is what I am asking of participants, send 2 partners via e-mail at least 5 images of something you find inspiring and at least 1 word or phrase that inspires you to do whatever it is that you do. It would also be nice to include a description of why these things put the wind in your sails, and keep you going! The images and phrase can be from anywhere, pictures you have taken, your artwork, your pets, a pretty colour, found internet images, celebrity quotes, wisdom from your mom, etc.

I might make a similar swap for flatmail or package, we will see how this one goes.

This is international since it is e-mail, and open to newbies as well. The more the merrier.

Happy Swapping!
