Challenge #3 - "You're My Inspiration"

This time I want you to think of things two ways - who was your greatest inspiration - and - who would you like to inspire. You can choose one to do or both on one page or two separate pages.

Who we are is so often influenced by those who inspire us to be a better person either by example or just by their being. Is your inspiration a historical figure whose life story impacted you, a teacher who believed in you, a family member who didn't let you down, a child who exemplifies a purity you wish you could achieve? Maybe it was an event that happened, I'm sure that there are many who were inspired by the dedicated service of those who implimented the rescue on 9/11. There are so many things that can inspire us, what's yours?

"Your the meaning in my life, your the inspiration, you bring feeling to my life, you the inspiration"

  1. I chose this challenge for today to honor my Daddy who is my inspiration. Two years ago today he left this world for a better and left a hole in my heart and life that leaves me grateful for Christ's atonement and the plan of salvation. I pray that my Daddy will always know how much I love him and I look forward to that day of reunion.

  2. He does Kim! You know your Daddy knows. It would just be wonderful to get that contact and reformation (sp?) Funny this is the topic because I was just going through letters that my grandparents (me and my grandma were joined at the hip) exchanged while they were dating. They are in an old shoe box. I need to preserve them but not exactly sure the best way. Any suggestions?

  3. I know that there are some sprays you can use to de-acidify the paper but I am so leary of spraying anything on my old papers - they say to test it on a small area first but I'm not sure. I know that with stuff from my Daddy's racing I created pockets on my pages and slid the programs and such down in it so that I wasn't applying anything to the actual document. I have some of the spray if you would like to try it - it's pretty expensive to just go out and buy if you're unsure about using it. Let me know.

  4. I still have to get this one done. I do not like having to reveal anything about myself. It makes me feel vulnerable. But I do know my family will appreciate it so I need to get back on it. Thanks for giving me the nudge.
