Don't you sometimes need a little inspiration?

After graduating from college, life was great. I lived in my favorite neighborhood, frequently saw my friends and boyfriend, and was walking distance to everything I enjoyed.  I had a healthy lifestyle and my spirit was adventurous and inspired.  But... it wasn't going anywhere, and let's face it, I am an ambitious lass.  Twenty-five hit me with a loud smack in the face.

Now I'm in law school, and while I am almost 1/3 of the way to going somewhere in life, my "life" as I knew it was gone.  I often tell people I feel like Rapunzel, sitting in my turreted apartment building on the very edge of Brooklyn, waiting for my rescue.  (Reading ridiculous amounts of six point print and typing furiously as I wait.)  Delayed gratification can be a struggle.

Today I lunched with a friend who is pursuing the romantic entrepreneurial lifestyle I envy.  His stories reminded me that being inspired is a key element to enjoying life.  So, I now introduce Sirens and Muses, a series of posts: temptations and inspirations to prod us into creating, into getting all hands on deck.  Even when we don't have time to create, we can dream.
