Each person can discover places that enable them to develop ideas and sharpen focus. When was the last time you sought places that really enabled you to relax and focus on things? Where were you?  Where would you like to go to get inspired?

Some people can imagine the most incredible things at the local can imagine the most incredible things at the local laundrymat or grocer. Other people will go further to seek out different kinds of scenery. Would you prefer to stay nearby or to travel a further? Which environments motivate you or get your creative juices flowing?

For the next few days, I'm exploring historic temples and shrines in Kyoto, Japan. This has been a longtime dream of mine. I'm fascinated by the architecture and symbolism, as well as the diverse trees and plants of the gardens. I brainstorm and organize ideas amidst nature.  Unusual setting serve for some of my most creative inspiration, but I've also learned I need not travel far to be inspired.
