Monday Motivation

Color Me Inspired
Jon Hamm
Today's Monday Motivation is inspiration. While I have been very inspired creatively during this pandemic there is the occasional dry spot. Thus this morning I was surfing the Internet in search of some.

Well I found it in the form of Jon Hamm in a t-shirt, shorts, mask and flip flops. How is that inspiring you may ask? Well it got my creative juices flowing if you get  my drift, and I think you do...

Not everything that inspires me is adjacent to lust, but in this very moment, right here, right now that is what is doing the trick

Hey tomorrow's inspiration could be a piece of art or a dog I see while out and about. Perhaps it will  be another human being's act of kindness. That's the exciting thing about getting inspired you just never no where it's coming from, but it always does and often surprises.

Now if you'll excuse me, I got to go baste some Hamm

Inspiration

These Legs Were Made For Walking
Selma Blair & David Lyons
Some days, you know the ones where you need a little something to inspire you, make you that much more motivated? Well that day is here for me today. I'm not in a bad mood or place, but I could use some extra inspiration.

Here it is in the form of actress Selma Blair who is fighting MS (Multiple Sclerosis) -  She was photographed out and about in Los Angeles on a stroll with her guy David Lyons, seizing the day and enjoying the sun.

While some days are better then others, MS is a daily battle, one that Selma doesn't let get her down. Her courage and strength to live each moment to the fullest is truly inspiring.

So get out there and get your inner Selma Blair on and grab life by the ______ the blank is yours to fill in!

Strike A Pose

Fly High
Sylvester Stallone
"Gonna fly now, Flying high now, Gonna fly, fly, fly" - The Theme From "Rocky"

Surfing the WWW one can without any doubt turn up some amazing and unexpected things. Such as this image of Sylvester Stallone posing with the statue of himself as his character Rocky Balboa from the iconic Best Picture Oscar Winner Rocky in Philadelphia.

"Yes" the film came out in 1976 minions. This being stated it still packs a punch (pun intended) - it's an underdog tale that inspires one to be their personal best.

Let this image be your inspiration. I know it's motivating me as I am waking up and headed to the gym for some boxing, arm work & spin. I am a brute and take no prisoners

Seize the day people! It's the only April 8, 2018 you are you are ever going to have so make it yours!

Friday Feeling

You Lookin' At Me?!
Josh Brolin
This image of Josh Brolin looking like he's ready to go a second round in Venice, CA  perfectly sums up how I am feeling on this Friday, February 9th, 2018.

Translation? Even if Josh isn't ready, I am more than ready for round two! Wanna take me on? 

Having recently dropped 25 lbs and counting it feels like I am on the verge of something bigger than myself at present and what that is will reveal itself to me organically and intuitively in time. 

Trust me the best things happen when you feel good about yourself - thus I urge all of you to get out and do things that make you feel that way. Number one on that list is exercise. I can't tell you what a difference it has made for me to keep a schedule that consists of four spin classes, one yoga class and boxing as part of  my weekly routine.

Boxing has been the thing that has propelled me as a person in all honesty. It makes me feel like I can take on anything and it, believe it or not, centers me. 

Now you get why Josh is the poster boy for my Friday Feeling. Find an image of someone and something to inspire you today and then make that inspiration happen.

There is no time like now! T.G.I.F!

Imagination

Peacock
Lady Gaga
"It was just my imagination runnin' away with me" - The Temptations, Just My Imaginatiion

I woke this morning after dreaming of things that were fantastical, magical and imaginative. Then I found this image of Lady Gaga on the WWW and declared it my creative inspiration for the day.

This stylish outfit is everything dreams are made of and our Lady of Gaga pulls it off magnificently!

Whoever her stylist is, whether it be her or someone she hired deserves high praise for this retro/modern hybrid. 

Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, isn't that Sir Elton John on her shirt? 

Whatever the case may be today I declare we should all bend it like Gaga. Because Lady Gaga's have more fun!

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny...

Wow!
Sharon Stone

She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny blue string bikini...That's right, it's Sharon Stone rocking said swimwear and guess what? She's 58!

I am posting this because as someone over 50 (51 to be exact) and wanting to shed some weight, appearance & health have been on my mind a lot of late. 

While I realize I am not a woman, let's face it society holds women to more stringent ideals than men. Thus I am posting this image of Stone.

The reality is not everyone looks this fantastic, or will, but we should all aspire to do better for ourselves in all areas of our lives. 

Sharon is a shining example of someone who has been through the ringer and still came out on top (she had a stroke people, remember)

Time For A Photobomb...!

Bombs Away!
Jimmy Fallon, Cameron Diaz & Tourists
It's the weekend, Sunday to be exact and I am having a damned good time thus far. So when I came across this funtastic image of Jimmy Fallon & Cameron Diaz photobombing tourists, well I just had to publish it here on Entertain Me!

This photo pretty much sums up how I am feeling right here, right now and I wanted to share the levity. Feel my silliness, feel it!

As I sit here drinking my smoothie pre-spin class writing this, Jimmy and Cameron's antics are serving as inspiration for me as to what kind of shenanigans I intend to pull on others.

That's right peeps, watch out you never know where I am and what I might do.

Have a good one!

amfAR 2015: Sharon Stone, Sharon Stone, Sharon Stone!

Playing Tricks With Her Crucifix
Sharon Stone
amfAR recently held it's inspiration gala in Los Angeles, CA honoring the man behind American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy and hosted by Gwyneth Paltrow.

For those of you who may not be familiar with the organization, it raises money for AIDS research.

While the event was of course attended by the AHS cast, with Lady Gaga performing at it, let's all pretend to be surprised by that fact. It was Sharon Stone who made the biggest splash of the evening.

Not only does she look amazing, her outfit for the night was the bomb!

Talk about inspiring! Well yes, not only does Ms. Stone inspire because she has still got it at fifty-seven, something you may not be aware of is she has raised millions of dollars for the organization. Yes, that's right, Sharon Stone has championed amfAR for years.

She has even been an auctioneer at an event and a very good one at that, she could get you to buy a rock for a few grand, she is that persuasive.

Cheers to inspiration! Have a good one!
