 Inspiration:

  •  Inspire- to influence a person positively 
    • to breathe in. everyone can inspire themselves with the power of breath.
  • The opposite of inspiration is expiration

Imagination
  • Imagine
    • Image: picture
  • Memory and imagination come from the exact same place in the brain
Two truths one lie
  • I dislocated both my shoulders at the same time
  • I competed in a Junior Olympic trial in Budapest
  • I sang the lead role in a reboot
