My biggest inspiration comes from my sister, someone I look up to and listen to, she helps keep me pointed in the right direction.(God knows I need it) She gives me confidence to be who I am. She is my best friend. And my sister has shown me a peaceful future through the birth of my beautiful niece. Tiny Feet"
I am also constantly inspired by my mother and her courageous efforts and improvement since her accident in 2001 when she fell and sustained a brain injury. She is inflicted with a speech disorder called Aphasia. I have a link to the site dedicated to this on my home page.
Life in general offers so many inspirations. I learn things all of the time through relationships, jobs and even things I just witness or hear. You got to leave your mind open for it all, because like the great Ernest Hemingway once said, "In order to write about life, first you must live it."
One of the most difficult things for me to get through in life is dealing with mental barriers I have acquired from a childhood illness and a disability I cannot shake. I have learnt to overcome many obstacles, but can still find difficulties from time to time, and when I get frustrated and feel weak I have turned to music. One song, my personal anthem, that gets to me and helps to lift me up is by Avril Lavigne and is called Take Me Away
