A fun and INSPIRING little photo shoot 5 years ago with photographer, Tammy Boehmer! My hubby and I will be celebrating 35 years of marriage this coming weekend. I think it is inspiring to know some marriages were just meant to be! I love my husband, BRIAN, and thank him for being a daily INSPIRATION to me! |

DANCING WITH THE STARS WINNERS Karina and JR, I found their journey to be so inspirational . They were crowned the new winners last night. |
 |
Last night's X- Factor episode was very INSPIRATIONAL. Each of the singers dedicated their performance last night to someone whom they were grateful for in their lives. |
 |
More fun and INSPIRATION on ELLEN yesterday! These two little darlings from Essex England, Rosie and Sophia Grace, have been inspired by the singer Niki Monage . Ellen had them do interviews on the red carpet at Sunday's AMA show. I am ever inspired by ELLEN, and have grown to love these TUTU cuties on her show! |

INSPIRATIONAL judging on the TV show THE SING OFF. L to R Ben Folds, Sara Bareilles, Shawn Stockman These judges are great and really know the music industry and give such intelligent and inspiring comments. |
 |
I have been totally INSIRED by the mega talents on the show... THE SING OFF They will crown their new winners next Monday ... I am rooting for the group called "PENTATONIX", but the top 3 groups are all amazing! |

As all my blog readers know... my two Grandkids... MARIAH & BEAU are constant sources of inspiration to me. This photo in canvas has found a spot on my fireplace mantel. I love the Whimsical humor it brings!!!! Photo by photographer- Chelsea Klette (She captured a true essence of childhood in this one!) I do like it when the grandkids are smiling, though! I love some of my little Christmas ornaments, too... My Christmas mice, who I have also named Mariah and Beau, ...and the little TAP DANCING Santa and Snowmen |

I was at the BSOBAD dance studio Monday updating Bulletin Boards. I was inspired to keep it simple on these two boards by just turning them into large Christmas gifts! |

The snow last Friday ... I found it inspiring as it formed huge polka dots on the window! Although many people are not inspired by this weather, I do enjoy some snow leading up to Christmas, but not as inspiring for the months of Jan. Feb. and Mar! Today as I thought about something to inspire a theme for today's blog... I decided to dedicate this one to things that have recently inspired me! I am constantly inspired by many things in my life, and I must say this blog has given me a purpose to keep being inspired to write all about it! I have mentioned in previous blogs how I have been so committed to several reality TV shows lately. This week's episodes of the shows I have been watching were all very inspirational to me. Monday night's episode of THE SING OFF was great. This is a show of singing Acapella groups. I am super inspired by the talents of not only the singers on that show, but also by the judges who speak so intelligently and are always inspiring with their comments. Last nights final episode of this season's DANCING WITH THE STARS was also very exciting. I have always loved Derick Hough as a pro on that show, and was kind of banking on him and his partner, Ricki Lake, winning, however they ended up in 3rd place. I was fine with that due to the fact that Derick has won several times already. I was thrilled with the winners being Karina Schmirnoff and her partner JR Martinez. Karina has been on every show in it's 9 seasons and never won until this year. Her partner was so inspirational not only as a dancer but as a person having such a great spirit and story of heroism to share with the world. Last night's X- FACTOR episode was also an inspiration to me with each of the singer's dedicating their songs to some one who they are grateful for in their lives. Tonight's show will be interesting to see who will be voted off, as I feel there is lots of talent on that show as well! I personally am not as big a fan of the rapper/ hip hop style of singers, however, that being said, I believe there are lots of fans of that style of music watching the show and voting for their favorites. I know that show is all about the mentoring done by the judges and how they have been inspirational to their singers. Normally on tuesdays I attend two classes at the gym, however after taking a week off last week from the gym, I chose to only do one yesterday.... to ease back in! I am always inspired by the classes at GOODLIFE gym and their amazing instructors. It inspires me to continue to go and keep trying to stay fit for life! I had two coffee breaks yesterday as well. I went for a quick one with my new gym friend, Ella. Then later I had my neighbour, Heather over for a coffee, too. I am inspired by both of these two friends of mine. Each of them recently lost their husbands to illness, and they continue to cope with day to day life in such a positive way. I have many friends who are going through different things in their lives and I am constantly inspired with their stories and their ability to keep calm and carry on! Today I will attend a funeral of someone who was not only very inspirational to me, but also to so many people in and around Saskatoon. Mr. Hinitt inspired me and so many in many ways to make the most of your creativity and passion for life! I am inspired to wish all of my AMERICAN BLOG READERS to have a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING! So on that note... I'm constantly inspired every day, To look at things in a positive way. I'm inspired by people and also by things, Each simple thought and the power it brings! I feel that my life is such a good blend, Of such a great family and many a friend. Life is a circle of inspiration to me, I am grateful for all inspirations I see. Sometimes it doesn't take much at all... Infact it is often in something real small. I hope to continue to never get tired, Of feeling so grateful and also inspired! |
