See what I mean about being unable to write witty, clever titles? I’ve been sitting at the computer for an hour and this is the best I can come up with. Sigh.
This week I’m participating in SITS’ Back to Blogging Event. SITS stands for The Secret is in the Sauce and consists of a SITSahood of thousands of woman bloggers who come together to offer support and friendship through commenting. I’ve found so many of my favorite bloggers through SITS. If you’re new to blogging, or if you are simply searching for a way to connect with other bloggers, SITS is the place for you.
Today’s topic is to share a post about a woman who inspires you.
All of you inspire me. Jenn and Sarah inspire me to be creative. Jennifer has made me expand my reading repertoire and in the process, I’ve found some amazing new authors. Becca and Shawn inspire me to be a better mother through their amazing relationships with their children. Laura and Lis have navigated the path of pregnancy and motherhood with me. Cole encourages me to try new things in the kitchen. I could seriously go on and on. You will never know how much I appreciate you all giving me a glimpse into your world.
One of the most inspiring bloggers – the blogger who has impacted me tremendously in the past few months – is Megan from In This Wonderful Life. Megan delivered her sweet, beautiful baby boy, Cohen, in June. Cohen was diagnosed with several heart defects while in utero. I started reading Megan’s blog while she was still pregnant, and I will forever be grateful that she allowed all of us to journey with her through her pregnancy, Cohen’s time on Earth, and his passing into Heaven.
I’m not sure why Megan’s story impacted me as much as it did (it still does). Cohen is, and will always be, such a blessing to all those who knew of him. He was faced with insurmountable odds, even before he was born, and he was the true definition of a fighter. Megan and her husband, Brent, are the epitome of faithfulness and grace. I’ve truly seen God (and drawn closer to Him) through the way they have handled their son’s passing.
Megan, thank you for sharing your story. I pray God will rain blessings upon your family.
Who inspires you?

What a great post! Thanks for sharing about Cohen.
Awe! Well, you inspire me! I've loved your blog since the first day I laid eyes on it...probably through a Friend Makin' Monday meme or something like that. I can't remember exactly how I found my way here, but I'm glad I did! I think I just told you yesterday that you inspired me...LOL. I'll be posting about all that church kissing business tomorrow I think. :P
Reading about Baby Cohen was very touching. Megan and Brent's strength is unbelievable. Their relationship with God is inspiring. Their blog is wonderful.
Great post today! Hope you're having a great day!!♥
Hi, Andrea. First of all, I wanted to say thank you for visiting my blog via SITS the other day! So nice of you. Also, your post today was very touching. I don't even know Megan, but she has inspired me as well, from the lovely tribute you have given her. I will be sure to visit her blog.
Best regards,
Gloria
