Inspiration: Selfless Giving

The talented and amazing Candy from Candied Fabrics tagged me in the Blog it Forward mashup — there are 300 bloggers taking part writing about what inspires us the most.

Ever since I signed up for this project weeks ago, I’ve been pondering this thought and always came full circle back to one thing — people who selflessly give of themselves and their talents inspire me the most.

This includes bloggers who openly share the details of their lives letting us know we’re not alone, like Susannah Conway. Or friends I met over the past year who give me encouragement and support through emails, twitters, letters and blog posts (you know who you are and I love you!). And my developer, David, who always has the time despite his busy schedule to provide me advice and help out.

Then there’s folks like Maggie Doyne who at the precious young age of 19 built an orphanage in Nepal. Or Danielle LaPorte providing her no nonsense wisdom and advice daily. And the hilarious Moggit Girls who combine their sense of style with their sense of humor making me laugh everyday.

Each of these people give without expecting anything in return. And the universe will keep providing to them so they may continue sharing their talents. Give thanks and give back. These are the two main ingredients to peace and prosperity. And inspiration.
