Have you ever sat and thought about the people in your life that inspire you and why? I have a lot of wonderful people in my life who inspire me. In this post, I’m paying tribute to some of the people in my life who inspire me.

1. My daughter, Hazel. She is not only one of the most intelligent people I have ever known, she’s beautiful both inside and out. She’s determined and compassionate. She is loving and an animal lover. She has taught me how to be the best version of myself by holding me accountable for my thoughts, beliefs and actions. She has encouraged me to continue to work on myself and taught me so much!
2. My husband, Lynn. Lynn is the first person in my life who has chosen me. He makes me feel like the most important person in the whole world and the most loved partner. He has the kindest heart of anyone I know and he is the most patient person I know. Lynn is constantly challenging himself to grow and learn. He’s the reason that I went to school to become a counselor. Lynn has made me realize that I have value and I deserve to be loved.
3. My chosen sister, Melissa. Melissa has been through so much in her life and through all of the adversity, she is positive and exudes a light that is so vibrant. Melissa is always supportive, loving, kind, and would move mountains for anyone she loves. I admire Melissa and the way she can see difficult things through a lense of beauty.
4. My chosen brother, David. Dave is brilliant and has a heart as big as Texas. He is hilarious and the best story teller I’ve ever met. He’s travelled the world and can make a masterpiece out of wet cardboard. Dave is a great friend who would drop anything if we need him.

I wouldn’t want to do life without any of these people. They not only inspire me, but I love each one of them dearly!
