Finding Inspiration in the Unlikeliest of Places

Over vacation I stumbled upon this show. It was love at first episode. The scenery is so beautiful that I was ready to pack my bags and head to Alaska. As a student, I spend a lot of time inside sitting at a desk, and it is easy to forget about all of the adventures and beauty waiting right outside of my door courtesy of mother nature.

I'm pretty sure that I'm not actually cut out for the homesteader/subsistence lifestyle, but, for me, the show is a great reminder to be thoughtful about the many conveniences of modern life and how they affect my perspective and choices everyday. While I may not share all of the Kilchers' priorities, they have certainly provided me with inspiration for mindfully creating a life that aligns with my values.

Are there any tv shows or movies that have served as inspiration in your life?
