What a thoughtful list!!! Today, you have inspired me to do my own personal ABC of inspiration. This is such a great way to practice “gratitude”. Very nice indeed…
My family inspires me to be a better person.

G – grace. I am continually inspired by people who are kind and wise and charming and decent. Always good to spend time around people you would like to emulate and those who I call “graceful” are the ones that lift me up and keep me encouraged and motivated. And you I would call graceful.

An alphabet of awesome inspiration Emma and a whole language that communicates the very best to our highest self. Brilliant work, top notch writing. Sometimes we only need a word to change our life and these are the type that will move mountains, touch our inner spirit, and light the touchpaper to our latent dreams. If only it could be an ABC we could share with kids in schools. Wow, imagine what that would do?????
