What gives you inspiration? What influences your actions and your beliefs? What produces a strong sense of feeling or thought in your world?
For me, it's a few things:
My faith:Hands down if it wasn't for my faith and belief in God, I would have probably gone in insane years ago. I realized a long time ago that there truly is truth in the saying "God won't put more on you that you can bare" and that many of us do not know our true strengths. It's been in the midst of spiritual storms that I have grown closer to God and my family. I've learned who my true friends were and when it was time to let some people and things go. I've been humbled and reminded what truly matters in my life.
My mother: As often the case, it took me becoming a mother to realize just how wonderful my mom was and how many sacrifices she'd made over the years (and still continues to make even though her children are all "grown") for us. My teenage years were special to say the least and we grew very far apart, but the birth of my oldest son established a common bond between us and forever changed the dynamics of our relationship. My mom has a sweet spirit that just calms you. She believes in the power of fasting and praying and often will call me up out of the blue to say a word of prayer for me (and it's always the right time!). I've often said if I am just a fraction of the woman that my mother then I will still be one awesome diva!!!
My children: My boys are so different and yet so similar. They each bring something different to our family dynamics and I could not imagine my world without them. I "grew up" with my oldest son having him at 21. He brought some serious reality checks to my life. He has a nurturing spirit that is evident in the way he dotes after his little brother and those close to him. My youngest son is full of energy, life and laughter. The two of them keep me in check and remind me that my daily walk is shaping the legacy that I will leave for them and their families.
So, let's hear it Divas? Who or what inspires you?
