The Olympics

OlympiCakes!I'm not going to lie, a part of me always thought I might make it to the Olympics some day. At first my event of choice was track and field, then springboard diving, and later it was softball. Heck, I would've been happy to be the U.S. representative for curling (which I might still do) or even badminton (who knew this was an Olympic event!?)

The very thing that draws me to the Olympics again and again is the spirit of the individuals who compete. If you can look past the politics, endorsements, blown-up media stories, scandals, and bomb threats, you can look into the eyes of normal people doing extraordinary things. It's simply inspiring. (So inspiring that I stayed up late last night baking OlympiCakes to take to work today for my birthday.) What have you been inspired to do?
