Inspiration

What inspires? How and why does anyone or anything make our toes curl, our heart beat fast, what inspires us to do, think and achieve? It is so different for everyone, I think this is what is so special when you meet others with similar interests and are inspired by the same ideas, beauty and way of being. A inspiration soul-mate!

My inspirations.

daughter (my HEART, witty girl)
husband (my ROCK, his sense of justice)
mother (the one I can count on, she is also the most beautiful woman I know)
