She was born ...I am inspired by my younger sister. She was born without a thyroid gland and was diagnosed with cancer (a tumor) when she was 6-years-old. She was given a 10% chance of survival. But she beat the odds and is a wonderful 23-year-old now. She lives now with the sides effect from her cancer treatment (chemotherapy and radiation): cataracts, osteoporosis, a sensitive immune system; and hypothyroidism. She has to constantly take medication that she will take for the rest of her life. Recently she had basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer) removed and was diagnosed with acid reflux (both are side effects of her cancer treatment). Even though she continually faces challenges in her life, you would never notice it in casual contact. She is the sweetest, kindest person who cares about the people around her. But she's also tough, not allowing these challenges to stand in the way of what she wants to accomplish in life. She doesn't pity herself and tries to live the most normal life that she can. When I have a hard day, I always remind myself of what she faces in her life. She's my best friend and I couldn't imagine life without her.<BR/><BR/>Anne<BR/>lovin_singing@yahoo.comAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242296632886577056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040869366808762713.post-90660914001821656532008-07-16T23:03:00.000-07:002008-07-16T23:03:00.000-07:00So many things inspire me...but one of my favorite...So many things inspire me...but one of my favorites is watching a child learn how to do something new.

Raising an amazing family, over 50 years of marriage, and being able to travel the U.S. in their camper after retirement before health problems started to appear are just a few things that make me strive to be the best wife, mother, giver I can be. Their devotion to each other, their family and the Lord make them truely amazing people. <BR/>Thanks for an amazing coupon giveaway!!<BR/>Leanne<BR/>lmkirb@msn.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040869366808762713.post-65015400220184648552008-07-16T02:19:00.000-07:002008-07-16T02:19:00.000-07:00There are so many things that inspire me, just dep...There are so many things that inspire me, just depends on how they inspire me. When it comes to raising stair-step kids, I'm inspired by my sister and close girlfriend. Both of which have more kids than I do. Homeschooling, I'm inspired each year when I go to Oregon's OCEANetwork Homeschooling Conference. Each year I think that the speakers can't get any better and each year, I'm amazed at how uplifting and inspiring they are. In my walk with God, I've got a couple of friends that help to inspire my seeking constant truth in a world of too many grays. More so, I have a Lord who has done so much for me that I can't help but look back and remember the many difficult times He's held me in His arms and know that He still holds me to this day. I'm pretty new to couponing, but I'm inspired by the possibilities it holds. The possibility of saving enough to pay down debt and the possibility of saving enough to build a safety net. I'm also inspired by the idea that my children are young enough that by the time they grow up and move out, couponing will be a way of life for them, not some big transition and learning curve, like it's been for me. Hopefully, they will be able to begin their lives ahead of the game and be saving from the beginning.BudgetQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392641704675954653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040869366808762713.post-66917268524611620732008-07-15T22:23:00.000-07:002008-07-15T22:23:00.000-07:00What inspires me the most is my husband of 21 year...What inspires me the most is my husband of 21 years.
