heather moyse

heather moyse is national sport athlete in bobsleigh and rugby. i first discoverd this talented athlete from the a picture of her on the back of a lu lu lemon bag, of all things. i just had to google her and find out more about her. reading and looking at pictures of her: i was inspired. amazing girl full of passion and determination.

she recently won a gold medal along with her team mate Kaillie Humphries. That was the first ever gold medel for Canada in womans bobsled. And since 2004 she has represented Canada as a member of the National Senior Women’s Rugby. pretty amzing i say.
reading about her, i came across some biography and thought i would share one of the paragraphs with you:

Not only does Heather believe that sport is an amazing means to discover one’s potential in the face of challenges, but that it is also an ideal medium for development at the individual, community, and national levels. In 2001, Heather was selected to serve as a Disability Sports Program Officer with Commonwealth Games Canada in Trinidad and Tobago. She developed and established a camp for children who are deaf or hearing-impaired from islands across the Caribbean called Camp ABLE (Active Bodies, Leadership, and Esteem). Heather remained in Trinidad and Tobago for almost three years doing other work with the Paralympic Association, Disabled People’s International, and the Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Union. Since returning to Canada to do her Masters in Occupational Therapy, she has continued to serve as a Member-at-Large for Commonwealth Games Canada with an avid interest in international development through sport.

I think it's inspiring that an athlete like her is taking this opportunity like this. these are the kind of people that i look up to. they aren't just athletes and gold medalists - they are so much more. they have the ability and opportunitys to help. to make a difference. to inspire. sure this girl is a gold medalist and a national athlete (and pretty) - that inspires me that hard work pays off and that i can do anyting. heather is working hard all year long, two tough sports that she put her mind to. but she also inspires me because of her attitude and her love and perspective on sports.

whatever sport i choose to continue with my life and excel in, to put my mind to 110% - i want an attitude like heather moyse. i want what she has, and hey it's not hard to get.



love it!



I love this picture. It's hanging on my bulliton board!



look at that face!

Happy New Year!

insperation leads to big things

as many of you may know that i wrote a book called "miles to go" and it was basically about my life and goals for my future. well i was always thining about writing a second book about everything that inspires me and how i am inspired. so instead of writing a book this time, i thought i would have a blog that anyone could read and more people could read it, instead of making a lot of copies of a book. also this way i can keep on adding stuff instead of having to keep on writing books.

i am inspired in so many ways, by so many. small, big, and somethings that people may just skip over in lfe. my life is what it is because of who and how i am inspired. so follow my blog: hear how i am inspired - get inspired.
