Today I was thinking about inspiration. I am so lucky to have so many people in my life that I am constantly inspired by. I could go on and on about my friends and how they are the most fierce, strong, independent, smart, successful and motivated girls I know. They go for their dreams, they are so true to themselves that they often break away from social norms and create their own paths of happiness. Who needs self help books when I can look around me and be inspired by those closest.

Today I am especially proud of my husband. He did something that I know I would have a hard time with in his situation. He fought for something he KNEW he deserved. Ivan is the type of guy that aims to make people happy.. I know this was hard for him. Sometimes in life I know I am quick to make the statement "oh well.. that's life I guess"... and possibly miss out on chances to better my life! Now this is not to say it will necessarily work in his favor but at the end of the day he knows that he didn't stand back and let an opportunity go to waste. Its all about getting out there and reaching and grabbing at opportunities that are passing me by everyday.
