Find inspiration where you can: Country Music
I'm an urban girl at heart -- more comfortable surrounded by buildings and people than open spaces and nature. And while most people like me will proclaim an immediate disdain for the twangy, broken-hearted verses of country music, I like country music and it's vibrant energy.
As a writer, I have a passion for words, whether in song lyrics, novels or blogs, and I think we can take a lot of valuable lessons from country music.

- I can't help but be proud of who I am and where I came from when I hear Who I am by Jessica Andrews, Redneck Girl by Gretchen Wilson and Mississippi Girl by Faith Hill
- Live like you were dying, from the song of the same name by Tim McGraw, reminds me to value every day
- Proud of the House We Built by Brooks and Dunn is a good reminder of what's important in life -- love and family.

Country music can be comforting, painful, or just plain fun. Personally, I prefer Christian Country and Country Gospel music that can be found on http://www.WeWillPraiseTheLORD.com along with other Christian music that soothes the soul.
