My mom inspires me because she has been through a lot in her life. She has never said but i know there have been plenty of times she has gone through problems where she has felt by herself but somehow seems to power through. Lesser people would have succumbed to the tribulations but shes so strong of a woman.
My sister-in-law inspires me. She's fought lymphoma 3 times and never let it slow her down.
Interesting.
My grandmother inspires me..she raised 4 kids and ran an at home business

Mae west.. I used to be snow white, but i drifted.
On my personal email I have a quote from Maya Angelou. "A woman's heart should be so lost in Jesus that a man must seek Him to find her."
my mom for showing me that nothing is impossible for me to accomplish
My mother has always inspired me. She taught us to be independent and make our own money.
I am inspired by women who speak truth to power.
