Inspire-ology

It’s been awhile, huh? Well… I’m back. I’m ready. I’m inspired.

Life’s been hard lately, I’m not going to lie. But I have the greatest family and truest friends to hold me up, encourage me, and inspire me.

To get back into the swing of things, I’m going simple. Back to the basics. I asked my friends and family on Facebook to share their favorite inspirational, positive, uplifting song! And man did I get responses! I did some hunting myself, and this is the list I came up with. I’m sure there’s LOTS missing, and EVERYTHING is included in this list… from Miley Cyrus to Johnny Cash to Queen!
