My mom is very inspiring in the way she cares for and serves others. She lives a busy life, but makes time for others and finds ways to show them she cares.
My Aunt Barb who passed away 4 years ago. She was such a strong person who always smiled. Even when she upset or hurt she never let people know. I try to always put my Aunt Barb smile on when I am having a hard time.
My mom has inspired me because she works hard to help the elderly.
My daughters because they all like to help others.
Jane Goodall!
my daughter inspires me daily. she is strong, smart and has a wonderful career and partner
My grandmother is the woman that inspired me the most
My mom Brenda is my hero because she has a number of health issues (Type 1 Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, and chronic Mono) that make life difficult for her, yet she perseveres. Instead of complaining she chooses to find ways to give back to her community like volunteering.
My sister Dawn. At 46 she battled and beat breast cancer. She is amazing.
Kathy my mother is my inspiration, she just had a major stroke in November and her recovery is a miracle, she is so determined and after everything she has been through still has her sense of humor and worries of every one else she is so giving and strong she is absolutely amazing and I am so lucky to have her as my best friend and my mother.
Mindy Kailing....love her. She's doing so much! Love that she's so happy to be a mom. Can't wait to see her new show and a Wrinkle in Time.
I have several, but mostly my mom, raising 5 kids after dad died, my sister-in-law, married to my brother, a Vietnam Veteran, for 45 yrs until his death. Both these women stayed strong, through my father's death, my brothers helicopter crash, (he survived), and then his death after 45 yrs, sadly, he just had retired. My mother lost 3 children within 18 mths of each other between 2012-2014. It's been really rough!
Madeleine L'Engle. She is one of my favorite authors and faced a mountain of rejection when she started to submit her writing. She persevered, and not only was "A Wrinkle in Time" finally published, it won the Newberry Award.
My best friend Tami inspires me because she always reminds me to believe in myself and to really live in the moment. She has been my best friend since college and is more like a sister and always inspires me.
My grandma is my hero.
