Over at Newvine Growing, Colleen Newvine is running Blogversation 2012. Each week, six women (myself included) write a response to a question posed. This past week, the question we wrote about was "Who or what inspires you?" Here is my response. Please check out Newvine Growing for other responses, and feel free to add your own thoughts to the original post!
