The book was incredible! It made me think about so many things and helped me to realize important things about myself. Christy also gave little tips and tidbits on how to better yourself. Some of these included doing a 9 Type personality test ( I am a Type 2), a "Smart Girl List", and then a list of women that inspire you and why they inspire you. So I thought that there was no better place to publish such a list then on my blog.
List of the Incredible Women Who Happen to Inspire Me
- My mother: She has always shown me how to be an incredible, headstrong, independent woman. She is the strongest woman I have ever known and has always taught me to rely on the Gospel and that I always have a family who loves me.
- My Grandma A. is another influential figure in my life. I was raised my whole life surrounded by my grandparents, aunts, and uncles, I like to credit them with helping to raise me with my parents. Grandma is the most compassionate person, always worrying about everybody else, she is the one who holds my family together and I miss her dearly. I called her on her birthday and was near tears because I miss her so much.
- My Grandma H. is a role model in my life too. She is such an independent woman, she has been on her own for so long and it is incredible to me. She also has an intense love and respect for family. My grandmothers and the rest of my family have instilled such a love and importance for family.
- Aunt Jamie has always been my favorite Aunt, I know that's not supposed to be said aloud, but it's always been the truth. I remember when her and Uncle Jon first eloped and I called her "Aunt Jamie" upon their arrival at Grandpa and Grandma's. It was such a tense and awkward moment that I have never forgotten it. But over the years she has shown me love and friendship, she always treated me like an adult, and friend, along with teaching me how to be an incredible woman. She has shown me that budgetting and raising a family is possible no matter what the circumstances. I love her and miss her dearly.
- Brittany is also an influential person in my life. I look up to her more than she will ever understand. Even though she is the little sister, I feel like she teaches me every time I talk with her. She is so independent, dedicated to making the world a better place, she is so strong in the Gospel and she lights up my life. Whenever I am having a bad day she makes it better in an instant. I love her so much and I wish she would just transfer up to USU so we could be together constantly.
There is a longer list, but these were the 5 main women who do inspire me in my daily life. They are real women who I have known all of my life, which I feel is ten times better than some scantily-clad role model in a magazine. These women are real, I miss them incredibly everyday, and I love them so much. Jordan Christy's book is an inspiration and I loved watching it.
