Inspiration.

That's a big word... with big meaning.

I find inspiration in so many places, people and events. Actually, I am surrounded by inspiration. If I allow myself the time to reflect, there is always something that hits me about an encounter I've had or a situation I was in that particular day. Now, keeping the focus on that inspiration and what it takes to apply it to my life in an on going way is my problem. I get comfortable in my ways and it's hard to change.

Recently, I was inspired by a woman I met at church. She is about to give birth (any day now!) to her third little boy. She has a full time job working with the children at the church and has lots of other volunteer jobs as well and has been in and out of the hospital on a weekly basis lately. While we were talking she must have been interrupted 15 times in the 20 mins we had been standing there. Yet, each and every time she responded with kindness, patience and love. Then she would return to me and our conversation with ease.

I found it to be such a beautiful attribute. And one that I will strive to incorporate into my own life.


So, what has inspired you lately? I'd love to hear the story!
