When I look back at my childhood I feel that the person who taught me about inspiration would have to be my mother, she has been deceased for 21 years and some how thoughts of her and what she taught me (many things lot's of blogs to come) still inspire me. where does inspiration come from all sorts of places for most of my life as stated earlier it came from my mom and now it comes from my immediate family husband, kids, and with in the whole family realm sisters, brothers, nephews, nieces etc. I feel very lucky to have been inspired by my mother for it was watching her inspiration of raising a family, un-selfishly as mothers do that some how gave me the courage to be inspired to raise my teenagers! and I still search for inspiration in my children and daily life and feel my mom's inspiration guide me.
