Arlette

Day 318:

“I’m a 3-year lung cancer survivor.  I’m inspired by every day I wake up healthy.”

- Arlette, photographed at the Over Easy Cafe in Asheville, North Carolina.  When Arlette and her husband left the cafe I caught a glance of them holding hands as they walked across the street together.

Mel

Day 317:

“What inspires me most is my son; he keeps giving me a reason to keep going and reminds me everyday why I am here.”

- Marlena Toineeta, a survivor.  Photographed with her son in their home in Ela, North Carolina.  Marlena is an enrolled member of the Cherokee Tribe and I had the privilege of interviewing her today.

Marie

Day 316:

“Last year I lived in Boone and the year before that I lived in Paris.  Somehow I imagined that moving to Asheville would slap me in the face the same way moving to Paris did.  I do not know anyone in town, besides the roommates I just met, and it gives me a nervous feeling.  But somehow I get the sense that I have found my people, even though I have not met them yet.”

- Marie McMahon, photographed in Asheville, North Carolina.  We met on the street just as she was walking home from the movie theater to her new apartment.  She went to see the film “The Kids are Alright,” and she had been crying.

September 2, 2010 - 8:26 AM Lauren Pollock - What a beautiful shot and story. Your boldness and open heart inspires me!

Sister Mary Emilie

Day 315:

“I am a Catholic Roman (Catholic Nun) from Milwaukee now stationed in Denver. I entered the convent to care for the elderly poor in 1964. My love for the poor and elderly became strong at the age of 13 when I saw the need to care for those who are often put aside by society. Now after many years I thank God for the grace of these many years.”

- Sister Mary Emilie of the Little Sisters of the Poor in Denver, Colorado. Photographed here on her way to visit her sister in Asheville, North Carolina. She receives two weeks of vacation every three years.

August 31, 2010 - 10:23 PM Genevieve - Love both of these!

Katie

Day 314

- Katie M. Booker, of No Limits Stickers on Alberta Street in Portland, Oregon.

April

Day 313:

“I would have to say that time in nature is the most inspiring time for me.  It’s essential to my happiness and connection to what’s most important in life … time!  Which brings me to my new experiment of going 1 year without T.V. and computer.  I want to see how this time without screens possibly opens up more time for nature, friends, and reading, writing and art.”

- April Snyder, Double Mountain Brewery in Hood River, Oregon.

Michelle & Kristine

Day 312

Michelle:

“What inspires me?  art. people. nature. design. weather.”

Kristine:

” vocab. travel. motion. speed. change. flow. color. nature. friends. food. making obscure culture.”

Michelle Quon and Kristine Elizabeth Lane photographed outside their home in the Hollywood neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.  I bought a sandwich maker for $2 from their groovy garage sale.

Heidee

Day 311:

“I am inspired by people who are authentically present.  As I strive for this in my own life, it means being genuine and compassionate with others, aware of my footprint on the earth and how I fit into the big picture of inter-relatedness.  I am inspired to be in service, and others inspires me by their service work.  It all becomes focused in relationships to each other.  I have much gratitude for the abundance of wonderful beings with whom I share time and space.  That may sound “woo-woo” and yet I hold this as my daily inspiration.”

- Heidee Lander-Nelson, photographed in Portland in front of two things she loves: a tree and her cherry red Pontiac Aztec.

Heidi

Day 310:

“I’m inspired by the possibility of living a passionate and balanced life.”

- Heidi McBride, gallery owner and artist match-maker.

Miss Crow Nation
