Mad Life
Soooooo, yesterday we talked about our kids and their role models...those folks they may look up to, admire, get inspired by their actions and choices. Um, what about you? Do you have a role model? There is no age limit on that, you know?
It's funny, but I think I have a variety of role models - for different parts of my life. Kind of the Justice League of Heather's Admired Folks. I've got role models for fashion, for family, for career, for life, for entertaining...all people I admire how they do things.
I think the cool thing, when you get older and have role models, is that you know the person isn't perfect, you don't want to be just like them, you may not really like much else but the way they move about the kitchen and can whip up something with ease. It is not someone to mimic or copy, just someone I can take tips from, to make myself a little better version of me in that specific area. More of a reminder, a focus for, say, my style when I'm shopping...and don't we ALL need little reminders in these crazy days of ours?
So, who are your role models? You can break it down by category - your fashion role model, your career role model....

I too have various role models for different aspects of my life. I'm careful not to idolize them though because you are right, no one is perfect as is demonstrated in the news daily!
a good thing to do is to let someone know you admire them for a certain thing. It doesn't hurt to brighten their day!

I adored my maternal grandmother but she died when I was very young. It's wonderful that you have a great grandma!

My grandma, she is a wonderful Christian woman & grandmother. I've learned so much just from being around her. -
I honestly don't have role models in those fields. My mom was and still is my biggest role model. This probably sounds corny, but my biggest role models are ones with big hearts and try to do some good deeds in this world :)
