If you're wondering about the significance of the blog title, here's a quick description: dokidoki (ドキドキ) is a Japanese phrase used to describe a palpitation, most often the sound/feeling of an intense heartbeat. It happens when you experience something that moves you - love, excitement, and ultimately inspiration.
This blog is an exploration of inspiration. I want to share with you what makes my heart beat out of my chest, what makes it want to soar and sing, what makes me grow and question and absorb and learn.
Here's an example:
I am a sucker for pop songs like this. The beat that starts in your toes and sets them tapping, the bass that makes you swing your hips, the guitar/synths/vocals that make it impossible not to smile. Put together in a tasty package of biscuit backup musicians and sassy polka-dot clad dancing front women, I absolutely give in to delight.
This song speaks to me because it's talking about the pure emotion of dancing to a great song - something I can't help but do. It even inspired a piece I wrote for a poetry slam. When I watch The Pipettes sing and dance, a little flame of hope burns in my chest that someday I'll be able to start the girl group I've always dreamed of starting.
That's a good start for now. See you all again soon!
