“To me, the feeling of being inspired is what happens when something strikes you so intensely that it triggers something deep inside and sparks your creativity to do something you haven’t done before. And then depending on how you choose to respond, it can allow you to be an inspiration to someone else in return. In any kind of art, inspiration is contagious. The way I see it, without inspiration,
we’re all like a box of matches waiting to be lit”

I love going back into COS and re-reading chapters. This passage really struck me. We all know David was inspired at a young age to be a musician…its in his blood so to speak…he was born to sing.
Now its time to look inside ourselves and see…what are we inspired to do???
Let’s look at the definition of inspiration…
in·spi·ra·tion/ˌinspəˈrāSHən/
| Noun: |
|
“stimulated to do or feel something”
I feel inspired to help others on a daily basis…you could say that’s my inspiration
As more charity projects are launched (such as the charity yearbooks and Paula’s new project helping the ASCCA camp), I feel even MORE inspired!! Its definitely contagious!!!!
So, when you go about your day today…see what inspires you…because YOU just might be that one important match waiting to light the world.

Guys, I just heard from Camp ASCCA. As of today, we have contributed $490.00 to help the campers. They have combined info from the FOD article and The Voice article and placed info on the camp website. http://www.campascca.org. (In the news section that scrolls across the screen) New people are being introduced to David and to us as his fans. They have also posted a link to the camp article about The Singer and the Song Project on their Facebook account. They are so grateful for every donation. Thank you SO MUCH to those who have generously donated. You can be a part of this project for even a $5 donation. Hugs to you all!
