Influences

so my buddy robert and his lovely sister marissa are currently traveling in Australia, the lucky dogs. on their awesome blog see here they both made a list of 100 hundred people that have influenced their lives. after reading their posts i was shocked to realize that i have never thought how much others have shaped me into who i am. whether it was intentional or with out even meaning to so many people have molded me into the person i see in the mirror. i have created my own list of one hundred people; these people are the ones who have guided, helped, even hurt me. they may not even know the affect that they have had one me. some of these people are dead, some i don't EVER want to speak to again, some i cannot stand, but they are all important. as i was writing down names i was amazed at some of the names that came to my head. so here it goes.

So this list may have people on it that may shock some of you, believe me they shocked me as well. But everyone deserves a spot due to how much the have changed or kept me the same. i am extremely grateful for each experience that i have had with these individuals.
i am also going to allow for those of you who wish to know why you are on the list the freedom to ask away.

  1. Meg,
    I think it goes the other way around for me. I would never think I could have had any influence on you except maybe you thinking she is crazy remember stay away. May same like I have to say something on here about this but you have had a great impact on my life and continue too. You are so awesome! So glad to call you my friend.

  2. I like this idea. I may just try it myself! It sure is interesting to think about how we become who we are and the way people have influenced us...

  3. I love that people are doing this same thing. It was a really eye-opening experience for me. It was surprisingly hard to only put 100 people on there. I could have doubled that, easily with people that have helped me get where I am today.

    Car accident? I hope you're okay.

  4. Car accident =( sad face. You're the first person I've seen so far actually take up the challenge and compile your own list. It's harder than you think, yeah? I know you have my email, and I would love to know why I was lucky enough to make it on your list.

    -Robert.
