It’s one thing to inspire a friend that you’ve known for a long time and know their likes/dislikes. It’s another thing to be inspiring to total strangers!
Inspiring Walkers
Last year I was tagged on instagram by this lovely young lady.
4 weeks later she posted this picture:
According to the the pictures she posted in between things were not always easy, but she finished her 800 km walk. Her journey – that I helped inspire – inspires me.
Inspiring Bikers
In February I received this message:
We are a group of 10 cyclists who are planning to travel the Natchez trace from Natchez Mississippi to Nashville Tennessee. I have loved your book. It is insightful, humorous to the point of hilarity, and yet very down to earth.
Thank you for the inspiration.

And then in April:
What a hidden Gem the Natchez Trace is. We completed our bike ride without a flat among `10 bikers, quite a testament to the quality of pavement. I thought of your journey frequently during our trek and was inspired to move on. Before I left I read your book about Merry and Emmaline ” To live forever” What a masterpiece of weaving, past, present and future, into an exciting novel. I would like to complement you on your writing. Have a great year.

Just got back from my morning walk. Nothing spectacular, just salt air. Now it’s time to go see what Mike Ironwood wants to do today. ?
I’m inspired by so many people, in many different ways, Andra, it’s hard to point at one. These people inspire me to eat healthy, exercise (without complaining), go deeper into my faith, feel gratitude, and to take life’s ups and downs more calmly. Of course, meeting you here, along with other writers and bloggers, inspire me to keep reading and writing stories.
I love your answer, bikerchick57…I feel the same way too. And Andrea is on the top of my inspiration list. She inspires me to keep on writing, not giving up on getting published, and to just write because it feels good.
that is so great! most people never know how what they say and do inspires others )
It is an awesome feeling I’m sure to inspire someone! I don’t really think I inspire anyone..and for me, it’s always been a little from different people..or experiences? If that makes sense. Congratulations!!
