I’m still keeping track of posts and bloggers who inspire me. I hope you find someone new in here. I just love my blog buddies. So here you go.

Sometimes I can get down on myself. From this time last year to day, my weight is only about 10 pounds less (especially since it was 20 pounds less a few months ago). And that can get me down sometimes. But then I read posts like this from my dear Mousearoo. I start thinking of everything I have accomplished and everything I have made it through in the last few months. Sometimes all it takes is someone to shift your focus, you know? So thanks a lot Marie. I needed to read your pep talk to yourself.

As much as I hate to see people struggle, I love to see the moment when we start to get our crap back together. When we take the time to stop and reflect and readjust our mindset and behaviors. And I love that Jeannie is sitting with that right now. The space of figuring things out is where change happens. And I have faith in her. And she makes me feel like I’m not in this alone.

Is there anything that inspires me more than babies? I don’t think so. Go give Cameron a warm welcome. I just want to go meet him and snuggle him. Such a pity round trip airfare is double my car payment. (I actually checked. I so want you meet you guys Ang!)

I must admit that I’ve been pretty uninspired with my cooking for the last few months. Like everything else that’s not going according to plan, I’m blaming it on the heat. I’ve started collecting fall-inspired recipes and this one by Primal Matriarch is top on my list. I can’t wait to cook in fall. Cannot wait.

Have you seen what Lorrie has been doing lately? And on her other blog too? She’s become a posting machine! I’m so happy that she’s got her groove back.

(And, in case you’re wondering, I’m obsessively listening to Ray LaMontagne’s new cd. Obsessively. I love it. This song is my favorite. Watching it makes me carsick but the sound isn’t too bad. Just listen…don’t watch.)

Any recent inspiring posts I should know about?
