Creative and Inspirational People
Creative and Inspirational People Creative people have a deep respect for the very essence of everything around them. It is as if they have a thirst for all things new and exciting. Who wouldn’t want to be around a creative and inspirational person? They are uplifting, kind, and filled with a wonder for life. They can light up a room by just walking in with a smile on their face. They are usually highly intelligent in their own right and don’t flaunt it unless challenged in a negative way.

A combination of elements caused Maria to transform from a disaster to a “catastrophic event”, meaning it wiped out nearly most…

What risks do you remember taking? Would you take them again? Would you advise others to take the same risks? Risk Takers I happened upon a group of young adults this past weekend who were enjoying themselves by swinging off the walking bridge that spans the width of the Colorado River, just outside of Moab Utah.
