Divine Inspiration (I know how original!)

Posted 06-23-2009 at 07:32 AM by NZVAs  
I use the word divine but I mean it. Attached is a picture of my two girls, one a Maori mermaid at the local santa parade and the other wearing our Santa stockings on her feet(!) and a Christmas hat.

These two young ladies inspire me more than anything else in the world. I would turn the world around for them if I could. I feel no less unique for it - rather I feel blessed to be part of world full of parents, each wanting the best for their child and sharing that worldly understanding with all other parents internationally.

A parents love knows no discrimination. Before I had children I thought about what I would do until I die, now I think past that, like what can I do for them even when I am gone? Their effervescent personalities, groundhog day positivity - literally every morning without fail - and their anxiousness to succeed drives me to show them that dreams aren't something they only have when they go to sleep, that security isn't something someone gives you but that you can have within yourself and that true love isn't something they have to work for or spend years seeking ... they just have to look around them and see what's already there.

They don't inspire me to think differently - they inspire me to "do differently". Rather than tell them they can do things it's important to me to show them they can do anything they put their mind to. I live to be an example to them, if not exactly for what they want to be, but as a living example that we CAN be what we want to be no matter what it is we want to be.

In business... I have a Happy File - it's a folder full of thank you cards and letters, photo's of them and other loved ones, farewell cards from previous colleagues, love letters from my honey in his hay days (here's hoping he doesn't see this blog!) to inspire me whenever I need it and to remind me that there are so many wonderful things I can be grateful for.

Divine... Well I'm not religious exactly but if anything makes me believe that there is a bigger purpose for the time we are alive here on earth, I think my inspiration, my meaning for being, is to care for these two angels. Likewise I know I will not be the only one, in fact I'd be very surprised if I am the only one, who thinks the same.

I am not a mother yet, but your post inspires me to hope that one day I will feel and think the same way. The pictures of your children are priceless. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Beautiful post Lisa - as a new mother to a little girl I can totally relate to what you've shared here.

P.S. Your girls are absolutely gorgeous!
