..inspiration from within..

There are things that arise in our lives that some times prevent us from seeing the bigger picture, from healing from heartache, from moving forward, or even from doing what makes us happy. These very things that seem to keep us captive in time where life seems to be moving with out us are the very things that sometimes help us to get where we are going. …I use to think this, I use to believe that, and I still see the truth in all of that but the only difference now is that in those moments where I felt like hope was lost, the people in my life in those moments where the ones who helped me to see the bigger picture, heal from heartache, move forward, and do what makes me happy.

If I could paint a picture for you of how inspiration has touched my life I would, but since my drawing skills are underdeveloped at this time let me try using words…
Picture if you well… Have you ever met someone who screams passion, integrity, honor, and devotion for all that is creative? Have you ever met someone who has the ability to clam a room by simple grace and a caring smile or someone who carries the world on their back with no complaints and strives to love all the same no matter how hard? ...Lucky for me I have. 

 Sometimes you just need someone to tell you and reassure you that no matter what happens in life everything will always be okay... Sometimes in life there is only one thing, one person who can always make you feel better, clam your nerves and read you like a book. My mother is the the key to all that is wonderful. She gives with out thinking and cares with out bounds. She is constantly providing to those around her and being the purest example of all that is right. When feeling the pressures of this world my mother has been my reminder that there is always light to be found and nothing is ever as bad as it may seem. She is the strength, peace, joy, and constant wave of love that fuses our family together. My mother is who I hope to become more like every day. Roberta Jean Harris... The most beautiful part of my amazing family.

Only a handful of people can honestly stand before others and say they have hit rock bottom, walked the path of heartache, and found their way back. Only a handful of people can see a person, look past their faults and find the truth with in. Only a handful of people understand how to help someone see their mistakes and know show them the hope that still lies with in sight. Only a handful of people can be a giant of understanding, but most of all… Love. I have been so blessed to know such a person all my life, my daddy. He has been the finest example of how to overcome struggle and find the good things in life. He has been the finest example what a worthy priesthood holder looks like, not just a man who can pray… But a man who can love, honor, and respect his family, friends and all those that he encounters on his walk of life. He is protector of our family and the supporting hand to each of us. My father is the rock of which we all stand firmly with, he is the man who has seen the bad and found the good with in. My father… The humble voice of reason and the most amazing man I have come to know.

My daddy!

A man with grace, clamming appeal, and truthful rhymes; he tends to those with love and carefully unfolds his world before you with his heart in music and passion that can never be contained. He is strength in his family and a rock to his friends, his quite nature is louder than any man’s crying yells and he stands taller than he appears to himself. He writes what he feels, raps what he says and opens his world to know no bounds. I once told him that he reminded me of Jay-Z, a rhythmic giant who in his own right took on the world, never stopping and never giving up; my friend, my brother.. Simeon does the same. He would shake his head in disagreement to all that I have to say about him but that would only cause me to continue. Simeon Lawrence… The gentle soul with big dreams and never ending care; he rocks each of us by his poetic nature and clamming effect. He has seriously inspired me to want to be more than I am by his care and effort as he takes on his passion, love and drive for music. He does this all with such humility and such love for his savior, he is a gift. He will be the next Jay-Z, the next idol to inspire the world to be great again.

She is a rock star, a gem of light, and a powerful wave of emotion. She embodies all that is real and all that is pure; she cares for everyone around her with such depth and continues to care even when her strength has been exerted. I have never know someone who looks at the world around her the way that she does, she sees the dark for what it is and finds the light even when it pains her to look for it. She is everything that I hope to be like and everything that I’m so grateful to have a part of my life. By her drive, creative skill and passion to live life I have found strength to not be scared, to live fully and to enjoy every person that passes through my life. Skye Elizabeth Dahlstrom… The gracious beauty who rocks your world every time you see her, the glue for her family and the saving grace for those that are lost. She truly is an angle sent by God and with that I say Amen.

Although I may have only spotlighted a few dear people that have turely touched my life in more than one way, there are so many more in my life that I have yet to mention. With some time and care I hope to one day graciously thank each person in my life who has been with me and for me every step of the way. There is only so much one person can do on their own but so much more one person can do with the help of others.

I have been blessed with so many inpirational people in my life from family and friends, I think you all from the bottom my heart for your love & care. Thank you.
