Here are some of the people and places inspiring me with creativity and positivity at the moment. They are in no particular order of preference, aside from the Coat of Hopes, which is currently very active in my life. Keep checking back as there are more to come! For some of my favourite music for lifting the spirits, keep scrolling down.
The Coat of Hopes is one of the most inspiring and hopeful things I have ever encountered. All who meet it are invited to wear the coat, which has been made by hundreds of hands and hearts and has walked over 1600 miles. If you visit the website, you can find out where it is now, and arrange to meet it on its journey.
