Meet My Mom-
My mom has always been a generous SOUL. I got many of my attributes from my mom. This lady went off to college after high school in a different state than her family and got a bachelor's degree in Programming. Found her husband of now, 31 years. She worked, up until she had me (That means 2 kids before me, and all 9 months before I appeared). Wow! Eating apples on the bus to Denver while she had morning sickness.
She has had 6 biological children but I say that because she always took in those that would let her. My close friends could call my mom, Mom. My siblings usually had the same experience with their friends. She taught me that family can reach out and be more than blood. Everyone needs someone. Everyone can benefit from a loving family.
Some Amazing Other things my mom have taught me:
Always be on a journey to joy. You may feel pathetic, horrible, sad, or anything else but then be trying to find the source and the path out of that place.
You are worth so much! Each person has a grand amount of potential! Everyone. Each and every person.
Be Unique. SParklE. Don't be afraid to be different.
Love God. Pray to Him. He will guide you.
You will
I just asked her for her motto and she says, "Work hard, play hard!" She totally lives this. When she works, she puts herself into the work and gets things done. When she plays, she has so much fun and enjoys herself! She tries to balance both! I love that! Give time and energy to what you are doing.
Speaking of playing, she has passed on her love for games to me. Board games, card games, even a bit of video games. I have to remind myself not to get addicted to the games but I do enjoy games often. When we get together as family, we play games together.
After 30 years of being a mom, my mom is finally free from living with kids. Now I think you will love THIS story! My dad is another inspiring being that I think would take a blog post to share. (Insert Link Here?!) After years of hard service labor being a paramedic and firefighter, my dad had a change of heart. My parents up and left Arizona to go to Salt Lake City, Utah where my dad would become a flight attendant.
They left my 19 year old sister with my older sister renting their house. 5 of their 6 children live in Arizona (the other going to school in Idaho). So far, they have been doing well! My dad enjoys his career change and has less stress on the job. They get to visit often because of the free flights they receive from the airline. I almost feel like they didn't move sometimes.
What does my precious mom do with this 'free time' she has? She is a great tribute to our family! My mom is an AWESOME genealogist! She searches for people's family history and ancestors. That is something she loves to do. Honing in on her skills, she has found a great passion and a way to help others for her 'job'. If you want to check out more details on this pro- Go to

She says that if you are searching for your own inspiration you should pay attention to the little things that may not always seem like inspiration. Follow through with them and then you will see bigger inspiration come to you.
