What's in a name?

So the questions begs to be asked ... "what does Inspiro mean?" A good question, and an even better answer! The word "inspiro" is derivative of the Latin word inspirare which translated "in" means "in" and "spirare "to breathe. As translated into English the word then begins to mean "to blow or breathe into" or "to infuse by breathing." What is fascinating about the Greek translation of inspirare is that the "in" is left off and it become spirare which places all of the emphasis on the Divine as a definition meaning "all that is breathed out by God".

Now what about the number 8? Eight is seven plus one, and is hence the start of a new order, the beginning of a new era. As in the baptism there is a new beginning of life in walking in the Light.

Put them together and Inspiro 8 by definition is "new beginnings inspired by God". We choose to take our God given talents in the realm of design to create new, "inspired" concepts and designs that are ultimately the product of the creative breath of God.
