I was excited to be contacted and asked if I would be interested in speaking about and giving away a copy of the new More Than Words anthology from Harlequin. Of course I said yes!
The More Than Words program is nothing short of amazing. With the mission of “enhancing the well-being of women,” Harlequin uses the More Than Words program to:

This sounds like a wonderful cause. If I had to choose one person, who has inspired me most, it would be my mother. As a child she inspired me with art and her talent for drawing--now I sell my own art. As a teenager she inspired me with independent thinking and reaching outside my comfort zone. She was there for me when I battled Cancer and she is my best friend. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was my husband who I met when I was 16. He was a little older than me but a really good man & a christian. He inspired me to do better. My life was crazy before I met him. We've been together for over 21 years now and married 18. He just makes me want to be the best I can be.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lost my Dad at 17 to brain cancer he was my rock. He's alwasy loved me and supported me in everyway.
The person who inspired me to be a teacher were my junior high school teachers. The women whom never gave up on me and never said I couldn't achieve anything. They gave me the best advice and the most inspiration.

Definitely my mom. Through hardships right from the beginning of her life to now, she has always managed to sway the odds in her favor. Thus, she has shown me how to be a strong person and to move forward in life no matter what gets thrown at you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I can't wait to read the book. My biggest inspiration was my mom. She gave birth at 17, so we pretty much grew up together. She was so smart, strong, and funny. She fought cancer with all she had, and even though we had to let her go in 1997, I still feel her around me when I need her. She was my best friend, and I only wish I could be as great a person as she was every single day of her life.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say my mother. She had me when she was a teenager, so we grew up as sisters and best friends. I learned from her experiences and advice. She never held anything back from me, not her struggles or her triumphs. She thaught that if she can get to where she is today, then surely no matter what life throws at me i possess the strength to overcome it.
ReplyDeleteMy son is the person who has inspired me. I was a young mother and became a single mother when he was just starting kindergarten. He made me want to better myself, to go to school, to finally buy my first house, to move to a better position at work. I tried to give him a better life and because of him I had a richer life.
ReplyDeleteMy mother was the one who inspired me and she wasn't my natural mom. I was abandoned at five days old by my natural mom and raised by the only mom I ever knew. She showed me love and taught me to look up and be proud of who I am and not to let by child hood get in the way of my happiness for a future. susan L.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say my mother. She is so inspiring to me and so many other people. I was a sickly child. She would sacrifice so much to make sure that I was well and had everything I needed. As a single mother who did not have much, she provided with love. I always felt as though I had enough. She also showed me the gift of giving. She's constantly donating her time and money to different charities. She rally up for different causes and she get teams of people to achieve each goal. I still follow in her big footsteps and try to give as much back as possible. I think if we all just do a little, a whole lot will get accomplished in this world.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is the one person who has inspired me most in life. She is a very strong woman who stands up for herself, and can always find an answer for every problem that comes along. I wish I was more like her. Please enter me. Thanks!

The person who inspired me most was my grandmother. She was always there with a freshed bake treat after school and a shoulder to cry on when needed. No matter what adversities she faced in life i never heard her complain. She always greeted everyone - regardless of age, race, gender, or social standing with a genuine smile that reached her eyes.
