Rozknob Cellar - A blog recommendation

When someone you know very well, who you respect, love with all your heart and who you admire with shining shameless awe, creates something amazing and is finally recognised for their talent, your soul bursts with joy for them.

I have one such friend.

Roz.

This woman is...inspiring.

Her and her partner in crime Yakko, are both wonderful artists. I have known Roz for almost 9 years and have marvelled at her creative talent since the beginning. I would watch her draw or paint, see the results of the colours in her mind and be struck with that lovely feeling when you are around someone like that, who can take any seemingly unimportant object around them, or whatever they see in their head and create something beautiful.

I have been touched by the beauty she finds around her, her ability to make something unique. The gifts she has given me by introducing me to soulful sounds and original thinking. She helped me find an appreciation for things that I would perhaps have at first dismissed because I didn't understand it, and showed me the way to looking past the barriers in my mind to see what lies beneath. I found I could see the devotion and heart that people put into their artistic endeavours. Whether I liked the end result or not didn't actually seem to be the point, it is how it moves me, it is a way of viewing the world, with eyes that are unjudging and accepting, eyes that can find the hope, fear, pain, joy, love, loss, ache, passion, beauty, truth....in a single breath and be thankful someone gave it life.

Sometimes when those around us do well, some people have a tendency to become the scathing green-eyed monster. For me though, the success of my dear friend only proves to inspire me more. I feel blessed to have someone in my life who is honest, truthful, joyous, someone who has that light inside that propels you to her, she doesn't even know she has it.

Getting to the point, Roz and Yakko have a blog, the link to which is HERE, which is just a snippet of who they are. Easy to navigate, humorous, honest and inspiring, I hope you enjoy Rozknob Cellar, and even if you're...not quite sure... I hope you can open up to a new world and appreciate the passion they put into their work, with everything they have.

I hope you can find a little inspiration in your day to remind you that you can create anything you desire, pick up that pen, get out that sketchpad, take the lens off and find the beauty around you.

Do any of you have someone in your life that you admire and who inspires you to be the best you can be?
