I was recently 'tagged' by Slade from 'Shift your Spirits' with the theme of 'Why do I Blog?'
In writing the resulting article I revealed a lot about myself - to myself.
If you'd like to read the article follow the link in my sig but then follow the links on my Blog to 'Shift your Spirits', 'DruidJournal.net' and 'AdamsPeace' as they were all prior recipients of the same 'tag'.
The way each of them answered the same short question was incredibly revealing and displays a whole myriad sources of inspiration that you may feel a connection with.
I'd also reccomend 'Sania wyatt's' Blog (also a link on my Blog) as her story 'my only prayer' and the 'about section on her Blog are totally from the heart and essential reading if you want your question answering.
I guess the simple answer (summarising the above articles into single words) is - Belief, Pain, Struggle, Hope and Truth. But in saying that I'd also like to include all the people I've mentioned above as my inspiration
Take care.
