Ever since I’ve started blogging, I’ve been so inspired by lovely bloggers who come up with great topics to talk about, events to participate in, challenges they’ve set for themselves and encouraging words and ideas that make me want to get my creative juices flowing!
There is no such thing as too much inspiration. Take-A-Step Thursday is an original weekly feature by Thistles and Whistles where you share your inspired thoughts and start a viral chain of positive actions and events !
What has inspired you this week? It could be anything from a book you’ve read, a quote from your Holy Scripture, a moving film you have watched, a cat video, DIY projects on Pinterest, a baby giggling, a beautiful photograph, the rising sun, your pets, a motivational clip – anything that has filled your mind with purpose to take a step and do something!
What have you been inspired to do as a result? Have you got an idea to create a scrapbook of travel photographs and memorabilia, join a book club, organize your drawers, renovate your home, make a bucket list, sky dive, write a book, clear out your email clutter, engage in some community events, volunteer at a pet shelter, make a personal manifesto, start a recycling program in your office, take a trip to another country or try an exotic recipe?
Here’s what you have to do:
1. Write a post of what has inspired you this week on Thursdays. Share a link or post a picture of your inspiration.
2. Include in the same post what you have been inspired to do as a result. Share your ideas. It could be the same thing you’ve been inspired to do (for eg. you saw a recipe and you’ve been inspired to make it as well) or it could be something entirely different. Posting your ideas on your blog will actually make you want to do it.
3. Tag your post TakeAStepThursday on WordPress and #TakeAStepThursday on Twitter and Instagram.
4. Link back to this post. (Linking back to the blog Thistles and Whistles doesn’t give me a notification unfortunately).
6. Engage with other bloggers to share and receive some ideas and inspiration.

Hi, I think it was maybe reading this yesterday that inspired me to take a step this thursday and start a group blog for Blogging 201 participants interested in group authoring, buddying etc – but i then forgot to comment here about it… http://2015febblo201.wordpress.com … I enjoyed survey, not too long, good questions – maybe you’ll pop over and take ours?

Thank you Safar for participating ! Your post is very inspiring indeed ! I would love to also know your gluten, egg and dairy free bread (as I myself am a gluten-free vegan) 🙂

Thank you! This is the recipe I roughly followed : http://minimalistbaker.com/one-bowl-gluten-free-banana-bread/
I substituted agave syrup and honey for sugar and used the chia seed option instead of egg (1tbsp chia seeds in 3 tbsps water – soaked for 5-10 mins). I also didn’t use almond or oatmeal (as I’d run out due to making the oatcakes!) but I think it needs at least the oatmeal. And I’d definitely add nuts next time. The site also has a version with butternut squash puree added to it.
