Hello all,
I started this blog in May 2012 in order to connect with like minded people. People in the arts who, like me have something to say and feel the need to say it. As a visual artist and a writer I like the idea of having an audience, afterall part of the reason I write and produce art is to share the emotions and ideas!
I post when I have an idea, when I have news about my books, and when I feel the need to share others work.
Part of my goal is to get to know more about human nature and to allow people to get to know me. Inspiration Import is and always will be an all inclusive place to be full of honesty and hopefully a bit of wisdom in the mix.
Thanks so much for joining me. Let’s explore together!
Oh, and these are my books! Lest I forget to mention the fact. Click on the cover below to lead to 5 Pillars of the Gypsy, All I Want for Christmas is a Wishmas Tree, Hey Angel!, and Prom Girls-A North American Rite of Passage along with wonderful Reviews for which I am truly grateful.
Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it’s there and sitting down

HI Lesley!
Thanks for the visit to my blog, I love the concept behind yours. Always great to connect with like-minded people! I have been through an amazing creative journey in the past few years that has taken me from photographer, to published author, and recently designing cushions to raise money for a special needs shelter in Vietnam! I love the flow of life and where it takes us.
Thanks for the connection beautiful lady!
Hi Stephanie, I found your blog through Jen Owenby on Twitter. She Tweets out many of my posts and I regularly go through her selections.
Great of you to come by. It does sound as though we should be friends as our stories are similar and likely our goals are too. Cheers!
Thanks for dropping by
The breadth and depth of you blog is astonishing! keep up the great work!
Thank you also Kaz. It turns out that WordPress somehow defaulted all of my notifications including emails so I am now in the process of sifting through the blogs I follow and re-setting
– That is how I was pleasantly side-tracked today.
You are included in my list of outstanding bloggers, check out the company you’re in -

Lesley, Thank you for stopping by and liking my recent post regarding my favorite movie, I do appreciate your time. Hopefully I will post something in the future that you enjoy. I wish you much success with your blog and as an arthor. Please take care — Bill
Hi Bill, I entered your site through Paulette’s re-blog. So glad you came by to say hello! Thank you and have a wonderful day. I feel like watching it again by the way.
Lesley, thanks so much for liking my author page on Facebook and for liking the Flash Fiction story I had on Morgen Bailey’s Writing Blog – appreciate you visiting it. I hope you enjoyed it. Nice chatting to you again. Good luck with everything.
Thanks Jane. Your story was great and to have been based on a true occurrence made it better. How very interesting! I Tweet what I like – that’s my motto!
Thanks for the visit and the follow, Leslie. Here’s to Humanity!
Cheers! More’s the better.
Thanks for stopping over by my blog and glad you liked my painting of Connemara View. Have to stop by here more often – have just read your intro again which I enjoyed and wow – all these nominations for awards – well done you!
I found your painting had a calming effect on me and appreciated it very much. Only sorry that time gets in the way because like you, I have found so many great posts and people. Thanks for spending some precious time today!
You my love have been tagged. Please go to the following link. http://wp.me/p28tjX-JF
I’ve nominated you for The Very Inspiring Blogger Award and hope you accept. I enjoy your blog and hope others will also.
You can check my nomination at: http://graypoet.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/me_inspiriing/
Nice honor!
I think so also but as of today I can’t accept more Awards because it is too difficult to find the time to properly reply and address them. I meant to put some words into my Introduction to say it in a way that doesn’t sound ungrateful.
Nice reading about you.
Thanks. For visiting my blog Ajaytao2010@wordpress.com. Browse through the category sections, I feel you may definitely find something of your interest.

Hey Les, thank you so much for taking the time to pop into LaeLand and read the post. What are you up to?
I am cruising through Saturday posts and have been out and about. I am still only 1/3 through your script. Sometimes life gets on top of me! Looks like Agent Hunter is a great resource so I have been caught over on their sight since you posted
