inspired to inspire.

"Be Inspired" has been on my mind all day today. What I mean when I say that is- I love to look to things that are going to inspire me to be better at what I already am. I want to be me- just a better version of me, to continuously learn- be inspired by the life around me. Not only do I want to be inspired by things, I want to be an inspiration to others. Whatever it may be- thru my photography, my attitude, thru myself as a wife or mom...whatever it may be I hope that there is something about me that people see and get inspired by. Don't get me wrong- I don't mean that in a cocky way at all and a lot of times I don't see myself as anything to be admired- but I do hope that I can be. I do want to be the type of person that helps people or to simply be a part of something that they had longed to become or to learn. I am nothing special at all- but I do want to live my life that it might help to make someones life more enriched, if thats only one. So it's a goal...become as much of an inspiration as I have been inspired to be!

Here are a few things that inspire me (indifferent ways of course)...those things that envoke thought:
.my son
.my husband
.my photography
.others photography
.the right kinda music
.opera
.a good short story with long meaning
.antiques
.pottery
.paintings
.being "crafty"
.always learning something new
.teaching what I know
.instrumental music
.a good quote
.thinking creatively
.the ocean
.the sun at its most beautiful gold
and thats just to name a few...

I look for inspiration in everything around me that I may learn from it, do something with it and become something more than what I was. -Me
