Every day, I'm on the hunt for people who inspire me, but I didn't have to look far to find some of the most influential people in my life.

My Mom, who took care of me and taught me the importance of getting lost in imagination, dedicating yourself to your kids, and making yourself a priority.

My Dad, who made sure I always had food, clothing, shelter, and transportation and taught me how to take care of myself and the importance of working hard, perseverance, trying new things, and doing what you love.

My husband, who loved me and stuck by me (even during the difficult stuff), taught me the importance of laughing at everything, absolutely everything, was always open and honest with me about my talents and flaws, and supported my efforts to follow my dreams.

My children, who are my world, who taught me what's really important in life and that it's OK to be a show-off and make a fool of yourself as long as I'm having fun doing it.

My grandparents, who taught me the importance of good health and creating the life you want, so you don't have any regrets when it's over.

My teachers, who repeatedly told me that I could do anything that I was willing to work for.

Thanks everyone.
