Inspiration
Inspired is based off of a children's book I wrote called Grandpa's Advice. The book centers around one of the many things I learned from my grandpa, which is the importance of gratitude. I was inspired by his outlook on life and want to continue to be inspired by learning about the outlooks of others. We all have different experiences and opinions and viewpoints to share with each other. I learn so much from each person with which I speak, and I want to continue interacting with others and hearing what they have to share.

I hope that, when viewing this project, you can appreciate the different responses and learn a bit, like I did. I hope you are inspired.
Balance is based off of a short story I wrote about my own battle of sometimes wondering what the 'right' thing to do is. There are so many different opinions and perspectives that individuals have concerning the best ways to live life. And, because some of the advice contradicts other pieces of advice, it is impossible to do it all. Balance plays off of this idea and showcases the contrast between many of the different things we are told to do. Ultimately, this piece highlights the idea that there are a million and one ways to live your life, and some things that work for certain people do not work for others. Find what works for you.
