Inspiration

It is inspiration week this week and I sat down and thought about who and what inspires me. There's no one answer. No one person place or thing that inspire me to do what I do. There are so many different things that really get me going.

Let's start with people first:

First and foremost of all human beings who were ever on earth, I think that the Mary, the mother of God is the person I wish I could emulate. She is the example of what a Christian woman should be. I know that alot of people have questions about the Catholic tradition of revering the Holy Mother. This link: http://www.holymothermary.org/ can explain it better then I can. I am providing the link so that people who have questions can find answers. Not to start a debate on my faith. So bear that in mind.

Next I have several "regular folks" who for various reasons lead extraordinary lives.

Their talents and achievements leave me breathless. I admire their accomplishments.

It's a varied list.

These are the people that inspire me. Tomorrow, I'll talk about books that have inspired me.
