What is my motivation....

My dear sweet pal Ashley sent me a blog it forward.

So without further adoooooooooooo here is what moves me...

Music

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE music and it completely inspires and takes me places I could never imagine. It sparks every ounce of creativity in me, calms me down, revs me up, and jump starts my heart with each beat.




Laughter

But not just any laughter. The laughter of the very own root of my heart and soul. To hear Sebastian and Emery laugh is like being reborn over and over again. To know that they find humor in the world and are happy is a gift I would take over and over again. Life is hard. Life is short. But for a brief moment you are a child. To hear them laugh is a constant reminder to let them be children for as long as I can.








Photography



To be able to capture a moment in time is beautiful and inspiring to me. Life is always buzzing along, passing me by. But for a brief moment I can go back. With just a snapshot of what was, I can be there. And that fills my heart.






Nature

Good ol Mother Nature.
There is something about a peaceful quiet walk in nature. Something about listening to the earth. Nothing needs to be said. It's as if you can be still and God whispers a calm into my soul without me ever knowing the difference. I always feel a bit revived and at peace with myself after spending time and enjoying the outside. I mean real nature too. Not just sitting in my front yard necessarily. But some days that can do the trick too.


And last but certainly not least....





LOVE


Oh my my how does it inspire. What on earth is there to live for other than love I wonder. It is the epitome of happiness and fulfillment in my life. I have been lucky enough to find and marry my soulmate and continue to spread our love down with children. I searched my whole life for it. It lead my every move, both right and wrong. But eventually after wandering aimlessly it came to me. And because of that my life is worth living.
