What Inspires you
I was recently asked an interesting question. What inspires you? Without really taking the question seriously, I answered jokingly, coffee and chocolate. My husband can attest, l am not a morning person, so it is true the thought of a good cup of joe motivates me when the annoying sound of the alarm clock doesn’t. I probably don’t even need to explain the magnetic force of chocolate.
But what really inspires me is everyday people who overcome obstacles with grace and dignity. My seven-year-old niece’s artwork sums things up nicely. Dream Big, Spread Joy. Although her spelling may not be her strong suit yet, Ali is inspiring. She is witty, artistic has an amazing vocabulary and prays so fervently, she causes chills to run up and down my arm. Like many precocious children, you never know what she will say next. She is an exceptional young lady, a force to be reckoned with and I am a better person for knowing her. She is also legally blind. What about you, what or who inspires you?
