Right now it seems like many people have had "one of those years."  It definitely hasn't been an easy year for me, but during this season I have found out a lot about myself, who I want to be, and who I can become. During these times we have to dig deep, pray often, and find inspiration to keep us going. Here are a few things that have kept me inspired this year...

1) Daily time in The Word-it reminds me that God loves me, He encourages me and He provides wisdom when I have none. He has given each of us gifts and talents and that inspires me daily to be all He has called me to be.

2) Artists-whatever realm it is in, I am constantly inspired by the amazing, creative people I am surrounded by. They help me grow, they push me, and they bring out my creativity.

3) My daughter-She is full of life and laughter, and makes me laugh when I want to cry. With such enthusiasm she'll tell me, "Mom, you're the best flower maker ever!" She believes in me and that helps me to believe in myself.

When things aren't going your way, count your blessings and try to inspire someone around you...chances are, they will inspire you!
