August holds a lot of 'Chasing Light' inspiration from poetry books, streaming music, and TV series. It's the last month of summer so find your inspiration for a fresh beginning to a new year ahead. #InspirationInAugust
1. Chasers of the Light: This book is a collection of poems from Tyler Knott Gregson, a poet, author, and photographer. I first discovered Tyler Knott on Instagram through a series of hashtags at @Tylerknott where he shares daily samples of his poetry and photographs. His poems and haikus range from love, beauty of life, and self motivation. Check out his website, follow him on social media and share the love of poetry.
"Life is a choice,
and we must make it each day,
the moment we wake up."

2. DIY Hand painted Wine glasses: Last month I spent my spare time painting wine glasses for my friend's wedding at the end of July. I used Martha Stewart easy squeezeble glass paint found at Michael's or Joann's. The theme was nautical, red and navy blue. I painted the name of each member in the bridal party on either a wine glass or beer pilsner with a blue anchor on the back. These glasses are an easy birthday or holiday gift!
3. 8Tracks: Ever notice how your favorite Pandora station can continue to play the same songs over and over again? And tired of hearing 'Are you still listening?' I was tired of hearing it three or four times a day at work, that' when I turned to 8Tracks, an internet radio that allows you to discover music based upon your mood or setting. You can choose from thousands of playlists that allows exploration of artists you've never heard of. Keeps the music fresh and always changing!
4. Chasing Life: A new series on ABC Family called 'Chasing Life' a story of a women in her 20's who is an aspiring journalist and discovers she has cancer. The entire TV series is about pursuing your dreams and living each moment as your last. The ironic part is this is the entire basis around my blog series Chasing Light. The theme, style, and name is all so very similar. I watched a few of the first episodes and find myself constantly relating to the main character April. The quote below pulled from the show is a close definition of myself.
"She's a stubborn, smart, ambitious girl who wants happiness and success in her career and love, everything that most people want." - Italia on her character April
5. Bowser Beer: This is no joke, it's a beer made for dogs! A dog is truly a man's best friend, but what's a best friend when you can't enjoy a beer together? Well now you can with Bowser Beer, a beer crafted just for dogs! Skip the treats next time and order a case of Bowser Beer for your fuzzy friend. Now you can kick back, relax, and actually enjoy a brewski or two with your best pal.
