Inspiration

Hello, my name is Brittany and I have started this blog because I want there to be a place where people can go to share their stories with all of us. I feel so strongly that we each have a very important reason for being here on this earth and that we have the ability to learn so much from one another. I have been touched by others stories through their blogs and each has taught me so much (links are on the side bar), despite the fact that I do not know all of them personally, their willingness to share their trials and their joys, have helped me to put my life into better perspective. Each of these families stories are truly touching. My hope is that this blog will honor them for allowing all of us to be touched by their powerful messages.

I would love to hear about who and what inspires you. Please contact me via email @ sharemystory.brittany@gmail.com



My three darling children and wonderful husband inspire me. They make life sweeter, I can not imagine life without them! Marriage and motherhood are so much harder than I ever anticipated. I had this fairy tale dreamed up inside my head as a youth that being married and becoming a mother would be perfect. Amazing and wonderful those things are, but perfect they are not. I think part of what makes marriage and motherhood so incredible is that you have to work so hard at each of them. We always appreciate things more when we have to work hard for them. Although many of the trials that I have endured in my life have sometimes seemed like too much for me to bare, I am grateful to a loving Heavenly Father for allowing me to experience those trials. Our trials, while still extremely difficult help us to grow. Through the trials I have faced in my life I have grown closer to my Heavenly Father, closer to The Savior Jesus Christ, and closer to the companionship of the Holy Ghost (Click on 'Truth Restored' on the side bar to learn more about our loving Heavenly Fathers plan for each of us, about The Savior, and The Holy Ghost) . My marriage has grown through the trails that my husband and I have faced together. My husband and I are closer to one another, have a deeper connection, and are more in tune with each other because of our trials. I am GRATEFUL for my trials.
After a long hard day of being a stay at home mom, seeing my children cuddled up together sleeping makes it all worth it!!

Brittany,

I found your website through Sheye Rosemeyer's. I am an avid reader of her blog and my thoughts echo your's. Thank you for creating this blog.

In a world where things have gotten out of control and people tend to focus only on the negative, it's so refreshing to have people out there that celebrate the positive and uplifting.

I, too, have learned a great deal from Sheye and sweet Ava's story. I appreciate my family more and try to see the gift that every single day is. I feel like Sheye has been a blessing and an "inspiration" in my life and I thank you for creating something that celebrates her story and other's like it.
