The name Inspiration Point for this project came about from a visit to Bryce Canyon. With my 2 brothers and their families; our family did a Road Trip of some of the Canyons in the USA. We were staying in a lodge on the rim of Bryce Canyon waking up early in the morning to watch the sunrise over the canyon. The 9 of us walked the few minutes from our lodge to the viewpoint to enjoy the beautiful scene of the sunrise colours lighting up the canyon as it unfolded. We decided to trek along one of the trails and continue observing the unfolding and awesome views. After progress along the trail we came to a trickier part of the trail. The journey onwards was to the viewpoint named Inspiration Point. The group split, with some heading back to the lodge while my 2 brothers, my son and myself venturing forwards towards Inspiration Point.

Much like the journey of life we took it in turns to lead, support each other during tricky terrain, encourage each other when tired, have conversations, laughter and connect. Whilst we moved forward to our destination we took moments to stop, look back and realise how far we had come, stop to enjoy and savour right where we were and keep aware of our goal. The Journey was as inspiring, positive and fulfilling as the destination.
