Step into the Shadows: This Week's Inspirations Await 🖤

This week’s inspirations—quotes, books, music, and a little poetry to stir your soul.

This week, let’s wander together into the spaces where inspiration quietly waits. I’ve gathered a few treasures—a song that feels like a heartbeat, a book that lingers in the soul, and poetry that moves like a lover’s touch. These are the moments and musings that have sparked something in me, and I hope they stir something in you too. Let’s dive in, shall we?

Quote of the Week:

“All great changes are preceded by chaos.” — Deepak Chopra

Chaos has a strange way of being the muse for change. It shakes us, breaks us, and clears the path for something new to grow. Deepak Chopra reminds us that the mess isn’t the end—it’s the prelude. So, if you find yourself in the storm, take heart. It’s just life rearranging itself to make room for your next chapter.

Currently Listening:

“Eres Tu” by Carla Morrison

This song feels like a quiet confession, a tender hymn to love’s most vulnerable moments. Her voice carries the weight of longing, each note wrapped in intimacy and truth. It’s the kind of song you play when words fail, letting the music say what the heart can’t. A reminder that sometimes love is as simple and profound as saying, ‘It’s you.’"

Currently Reading:

George Saunders' A Swim in a Pond in the Rain is a masterclass in storytelling, woven with the wisdom of a writer who sees the soul beneath every sentence. It’s not just about reading—it’s about understanding why stories move us, break us, and put us back together again. A reminder that in every word we write or read, we’re searching for the truth of being alive.

Inspired By:

Kathleen Raine’s ‘Change’ is a quiet, powerful reminder of life’s inevitability—the seasons of the soul, the ebb and flow of love, and the beauty found in letting go. Her words unfold like whispers on the wind, teaching us that change isn’t something to fear but a doorway to transformation.

As we step into the weekend, may these little pieces of inspiration guide you toward your own magic—whether in the quiet moments of reflection or the bold strokes of creation. Here’s to the books we’ve yet to write, the songs we’ve yet to sing, and the love we’ve yet to give. Until next Friday, stay wild, stay curious, and always, always chase the stars. ✨
