Inspiration

    As the days roll by, I find myself looking for inspiration around every corner. I know I'm in the fight of my life. However, I am determined to stay focused and driven. My vision board increases daily as I browse through magazines and the internet cutting out pictures and words that lift me. Pictures that inspire me to be a better person.
I know I'm on the right path, simply by all the obstacles that seem to be coming my way. I've always believed that the Devil doesn't bother you when you're standing still, doing nothing. Why should he? You pose no threat. But the minute you get moving and growing he pulls out his bag of tricks. He is determined to keep you from shining, because when you shine you magnify God's GLORY! I plan to be a walking testimony of just how Good GOD is! 

Today my inspiration comes from within. It is my innate ability to rebound. To get up after I've been hit hard and still have the energy to PUSH forward. It is a trait that runs deep within my family. I was born with it, as were all the women in my family. We are fighters. Strong, black, resilient women that are self sufficient, independent and driven. It began with my Grandmother Carrie, and has trickled down from one generation to the next.  A legacy of Phenomenal women, that ask for nothing but have given everything. Women that have fought the good fight and lived to tell about it the next day. These women are apart of who I am...my mother, my aunts, my cousins...we are Major women, doing Major things. I am inspired by the greatest that abounds me. I am excited to stand amongst them and call myself  one of them. Thank you Ladies for being so Phabolously Phenomenal. You make me proud to spell my name W.O.M.E.N.
