Inspiration

Beauty inspires me. The picture in my mind of what something could become makes me tingle. I get breathless with anticipation of what thing of beauty can be made, found or conjured.

Change inspires me. You are challenged and beaten but you are able to get up and meet these head-on. We can't always be sure that where we thought we'd end up is in fact our final destination.

My friends inspire me. I have amazing people in my life and they inspire me to do more, be more and think more. Without these people it would be much harder to find either beauty or inspiration.


My family inspire me. Although I was certain that I was adopted growing up, I have long made peace that although I am very different from my siblings they are as much part of me as I of them. No distance can tear us apart and no challenge is too difficult to overcome.


My husband inspire me. If you have ever met him you would know that I do not need to elaborate any further...

Of all the things and people, I am most inspired by my daughter. She embodies all the things that inspire me. She inspires me to care more, love deeper, be more creative allow me to look at life differently and to be different. She challenges my point of views and inspires me to find answers.

She inspires me to be a better mother, wife, sister and friend. In short a better person who cares about beauty far more than just the face value. She challenges my understanding of legacy. She forces me to worry about the life we lead and the world we will ultimately leave behind. She make me examine my past and embrace all that is part of me as it becomes part of her. My mistakes and the lessons learned can not be conveniently forgotten, they need to be woven into the fabric of my present and my future.As it becomes part of her.

In principle my daughter has not provided my life with meaning but have inspired me to look at who I am and where I came from and what I thought was meaning. What I believe in and what I wish to achieve.

You can either just carry on with your life and think that living in itself is a purpose or you can find inspiration in the things you see, do and aspire to. The things you long for, the beauty in your life and the challenges you face. In the people you meet and those you have know forever.

You can get stuck in thinking that parenting is all about instruction or you can open your mind. You might just be inspired...
