Inspirational to me is sometimes a sentence uttered by somebody in the street and I wil never forget the face and the looks of the person nor the moment, because they inspire me to do what I do. It's not only about the great work they (the publicly known women) did, but also about the way they (the real life people around me) touch my soul. I overheard one woman telling another one (in a dialect I can't really translate): "He hav stole your past, don't make him grab your future". I thought she was absolutely right and I still tell the story as a metaphor to some people. So, let's also pay some attention to the wisdom and love close to us. And you'll learn the Milton model soon, I suppose, where you intentionally use the Meta model to trigger people into thinking :-). Carola P. Estés is one of the woman inspiring me: "Women Who Run With the Wolves" is well known, www.mavenproductions.com/estes.html Hi Lodewijk,

Spouses and mothers, as you can read in the other comments, are role models as well. Your comment made me think. I noticed that you're an NLP-trainer and as you may know, I'm currently in training to be NLP Practitioner. Your comment triggered a lot of meta-model questions :) Hi Ben,

That's a woman that should be number one on your list. How does your wife, the love of your life, inspire you? That’s a woman that should be number one on your list.

I do admire what they have accomplished and what they (now) do for others. Politicians (male or female) do not really appeal to me, but that can very well be a prejudice, I'm going to read more about the two. And mother Theresa, well she indeed is an inspiration. @Anneli: Thanks for inspiring me. I was amazed by the amount of time I needed. It's somewhat comforting to hear that you find it difficult as well :-) I subscribed to the happiness project, it looks good at first glance. Flylady seems to be very female-oriented, and too bad that she has no feed... There’s some good stuff there, thanks!

There are lots of inspiring women of course, but not many that go on the web/blogosphere to teach us how to live a good life or getting things done or to find peace of mind. However there is one person - and her team - that really makes a difference in a lot of homes all over the world. http://flylady.net And that by telling us that we must start to "Finally Loving Yourself" FLY. She deals with CHAOS - Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrom and SHE-ness Sidetracked Home Executives. She gives us missions to do so that no part of our homes is forgotten and she also gives us tips on how to manage life's other parts such as relationships, work and health issues. The mailing list now has about 400.000 members and there is an inspirational radio show available on the net as well. FlyLady is Marla Cilley, also author of two books. Even if the website is rather ugly it gets you motivated to deal with clutter and stop procrastinating.

Nancy Pelosi - Speaker of the House (US Congress). She has come a long way. She is strong, but carries herself with grace. Angelina Jolie - she seems to give a lot of her time toward helping the poorest people of the world. I read she gives 1/3 of her income to charity. Ann Richards, deceased -former governor of Texas. She was an excellent politician and fabulous public speaker. Mother Theresa - gave selflessly of her whole life to the poor. There are several international women who are doing great things today, but I'm not familiar with their names at the moment. There are many more who are inspirational, but they are not "famous." A lot of them go by the name of "Mom" "Mommy" "Ma" etc. As a biased member of the motherhood community, let me raise a toast to the collective group of people who are "mothers." Lots of blood, sweat and tears. Fame is not necessary in that realm. When I read your 3 subjects at the bottom of your About page, I said wow, I’m right in line with this person!
