What inspires you? Do you ever encounter Lingering Inspirations? Do you have magic moments you keep in a loop in your head? Do you think about those moments when you are daydreaming or before you fall asleep?
I do.
I'm banking many others do, too.
Lingering inspiration(s) can refer to taking time to be present and reflect on things, such as friendships, family life, or travel (trying to keep it positive as much as possible). Lingering can also mean remaining in a place longer than necessary or continuing to exist even if its strength or importance decreases.
I plan on unpacking more of Lingering Inspirations (LI) in 2025. All the LI I’m reading and absorbing will hopefully inspire me to (finally!) indie publish my second book, Joy Ride Journeys. It's a hairpin turn from my first book, The Focused Fight, and is rising on my priority list. I'd love to have it zoom into your hands or Kindle in 2025!
In the meantime, a few Lingering Inspirations come to mind when I dig deeper about gnawing daytime thoughts that leave a smile on my lips or what I think about until I’m in a rested slumber that leaves me breathless.
