Bonjour! Emily @ Emmy June was (is?) one of my lifeline peeps. When I found myself sinking into a sad little pit of uninspiration, sadness and general blankness, Emily stepped up to the plate with her cape on and her undies on the outside and said
'Never fear, Emily's here!'
So naturally I felt incredibly safe and that the wellbeing of my blog was going to be just fine.
For those of you who don't know, Emily is a Michigan-born, LA-based, underwearontheoutside-wearing lady friend of mine who I have blated with. Twice. I like her THAT much. We have plans to do it several more times before she departs Australia, where her and hubby Jefftastic, have been living for a year now.
Hope you enjoy reading what inspires her! Be sure to check out her blog here!

Hi Jasmine lovers! My name is Emily, and I blog at Emmy June {born in May}. Jasmine and I became fast friends through our blogs and it wasn't long before we began plotting a meet-up. Well, friends, we did meet-up for a blogger date. And it was awesome. You can read about it here.
What inspires me to write?
The desire to capture a moment, a detail, an experience, with the hope that I can share it, save it, and revisit it.
This inspiration comes to me through variety. Through uniqueness of experience. When we moved to Sydney, everything felt so different. So new. So worthy of a photo....of a story.

| It never fails to inspire me |
However, there are also times when a week flies by and I cannot even remember what I did. These are the times when my writing can feel forced and uninspired. During these times, I draw inspiration from my fellow bloggers. Some bloggers inspire me to get out and seize the day. Other bloggers inspire me with their writing. Their ability to capture the mundane. To make it funny....and interesting. That's actually my favorite kind of inspiration. It makes me want to raise my game. I begin looking for humor and interest all around me. Surely, if their trip to the grocery store had me in stitches, there must be something funny in my life that I just didn't notice.
For example,
Michelle @ Mish Lovin Life inspires me with her humor.
 |
| Her badass marathon trainer face |
Devon @ The Mermaid Chronicles inspires me with her surfing and her love of the ocean.
 |
| This girl can shred |
Anna @ Glitter, Small World inspires me with her poetic writing.
 |
| Her beautiful, yet tragic stories from Africa |
Lindsay @ Trial by Sapphire inspires me to be more Earth-friendly with my beauty products and cleaning supplies.
Thanks for allowing me to share my inspiration!
What inspires YOU?
This is such a good reminder for all bloggers! Inspiration can be found everywhere! I love this.
ReplyDeleteAs you already know, I'm obsessed with Em, and I'm so glad that I "met" you through her double blogger date post about you two! You are both so great!
Happy day to you, Jasmine!
Well aren't you just the sweetest, Miss Emily... :) You're quite inspiring as well.
