My biggest pet peeve is inconsiderate people.

If I actively practice gratitude, I am able to keep myself grounded in the high times and lift myself up in the low times.

My biggest pet peeve is inconsiderate people.

In order to handle emotional pain I cry. I vent. I zone out in front of the TV to escape. Then, after I allow myself to feel it and be human, I try my best to put things in perspective and start moving forward again. I consciously focus on my blessings and remember what has gotten me through my past struggles: my faith and the belief that everything happens for a reason.

My children are my greatest gifts and my greatest inspirations.

My true inspirations are my kids and my husband. I'm also inspired by stories of my extended family, friends, and even strangers who cause me to look at my life and behavior and encourage me to be the best person, mother, daughter, and friend that I can be.
