Inspiration

Everyone gets inspiration from different places. A family member, friend or colleague.

Over the last eight years we've been working on a project that seemed impossible. I truly believed in it so I just kept working at it. I'm blessed with an amazing family and equally amazing friends. They love and support me no matter what. Now this doesn't mean that they don't think I'm crazy it just means that to my face they are loving and supportive.

Over that time I can't tell you how many times I've watched the movie Field of Dreams. Every time I rented it the ladies at Showtime would say "you know you rented this before?". As I got to know them I just told them the movie inspires me during difficult times. Turns out they are loving and supportive as well, from then on when I rented it they just smiled and said "Tough Day?"

Field of Dreams inspired me to follow my dream even if the entire town thinks your crazy. That you have to listen to your heart, the voices in your head and sometimes the voices from the corn field.

I love being an Entrepreneur, it constantly challenges me to be better at everything; a better person, a better business woman. I do admit that sometimes these challenges wear me down, then it's off the the movies for some inspiration. So last nights movie was Finding Nemo. I love how Zen Dory is, her ability to let go of the the past (short term memory loss), the way she goes with the flow. Best of all is her little "just keep swimming" song that she sings when Marlin is feeling down.

Our project is finally coming together. I take this as a sign that our Field of Dreams was meant to be. However, there is still much work to be done and challenges ahead. So today, as I work through these challenges I sing Dory's song and just keep swimming.
