My mom. She single-handedly raised six boys, by herself. After all these years, at 78 year old, she still gets up at 6am in the morning to do what she has to do...

Anyone with a strong enough mastery of the written word to hold my interest. I'm truly inspired by great writing. Usually fiction, but historical non-fiction frosts my pickle pretty good as well.

There are so many, many people that I draw inspiration from. I am inspired by my friends whom I love very much. And, I'm inspired by

Martin Luther King

Ghandi

Mother Teresa

The Dalai Lama

Alan Watts

Diane Latiker

Rhonda Bayless

Ginnie Love

Father Michael Pfleger

Threadbare

and anyone else who goes out and does good in the world and not just talk about it.

And I will agree with Eyup about Mach. There is something about that woman. love

In a positive sense:

My grandmother (RIP)

My mother

In a sort of negative, "inspired me to be better than them" sense:

My father

One of my exes

She lived her life to the fullest until the day she died.

She never gave a fuck about what others thought.

That's why she inspires me.
