Inspiration from Ari Cohen, of the blog Advanced Style

"I didn't set out to be a photographer or a writer," he [Ari Cohen] says. "I just wanted to do something that I felt inspired by and start sharing it with people."

Simple, right? Maybe we don't have to start out with detailed five-year plans or even any clear idea of what we want to do...maybe we just need to start (for now, at least).

And one more thing - "Ilona Royce Smithkin, 93, is one of Cohen's most famous subjects...[art that she has made over a decades-long career] never brought her fame. The Advanced Style blog has. Now, she gets modeling jobs. She's on billboards. People recognize her on the streets of New York.
 
""It's a lovely feeling," she says, "like you are part of the world and the world is part of you.""

I'm pretty amazed by the fact that she's 93 and this whole new phase of her life- the modeling and recognition for her style - is happening now. Sometimes it feels like things aren't happening, or they're never going to happen. Dreams are completely out of reach (except perhaps in sleep). Only, the unexpected, the unpredictable...well, they do happen. You can live out your dreams.

To doing something that both inspires us and others. And of course, living out your dreams.
