Small Treasure Tuesdays

Happy Tuesday All!And welcome to Small Treasure Tuesdays which also happens to be day 14 in my photo challenge!
Remember, your post doesn't have to be long, it can be as simple as linking up a picture or a quote. I don't want anyone feeling overwhelmed by this :-) Here are the guidelines:1) Make sure you link directly to the page your Small Treasure Tuesdays post is on, not your main blog page. If you don't have a blog, you can still participate and leave your treasure in a comment.
2) Please link back here so other people can join in on the fun! A good way to do that is by grabbing my button :-)
3) Visit as many people as you want/can. Everyone loves to know what you think of their treasures!
Today my treasure is prompted by the photo challenge, which is a photo of someone you could not imagine your life without.
Of course I could answer this as my husband, or my family, but again, I wanted to do something different.Otherwise just about every picture would be of Michael ;-)
So, I'm going to show some people whose work helped to shape me into who I am today. Without them, I would be a completely different person.

The people I chose, the ones I think I would be the most different without (excluding my husband, family and friends of course) are:
Joseph Smith -without him I might not have the church that I belong to, and it has truly shaped me into the woman I am todayJane Austen -she, and other authors, are a large reason why I want to major in creative writing. Her books also helped me to appreciate the English languageJ.K. Rowling -I cannot imagine not having the Harry Potter books. They taught me to really love reading, and they've helped to expand my imaginationWalt Disney -I also can't imagine not growing up with the Disney movies and characters that we all know and love, they too helped me to expand my mind and think outside the box
I'm giving an honorable mention to Lucy Maud Montgomery, she and many other authors could also be attributed to my love of reading and desire to write.
They are all my treasure this week. :-) 
What's your treasure this week?I'd love to hear about it, just leave the link in a comment and I'll add it to this post :-) Treasured Participants:Nain @ View From Down HereChloe @ My New Life as a HousewifeTina @ Art Chick Studio
