Living Inspired

I dream of living an inspired life. What that means to me may be different than what it means to you. To me, it means I want to create. I want to live a life of beauty, not physical but seeing the beauty in the world around me. I want to feel lighthearted, more often than not. I want to look at the world as if it is magic and full of whimsy. I want adventure, not necessarily heart stopping adventures (although those are great too), but going new places, new experiences, etc. I want to live in the present and think how amazing this moment is, rather than always pushing for a great reward at the end or worse living firmly planted in the past. I want to work hard, but play even harder. I want to make a difference in the lives of others. I want to find inspiration in others, but not be jealous, because my life does not come close to resembling what I want it to be. I want to be an inspiration, the type of person that makes people want to live a life of joy, acceptance, peace and happiness.

I am getting there. I have found blogs and people in my life that inspire me. I have started to tap into my creative side. I am letting go of some of my reservations, breaking my own routines and molds. I want to create things, and have even bought some crafty stuff. But to be honest that is a work in progress. I realize how important it is to teach my son these things one day, and in my opinion the only way I can teach him is to live them out myself. Jason and my sweet unborn baby boy are my greatest inspiration, because I want to not only inspire them, but for them to be proud to say I "belong" to them!
