Mary, the mother of God.

For completely submitting to the will of God for the good of us all. And for all of the love and comfort she provides for so many even in these frightening times.

I admire Princess Diana-even though she is long gone, her memory lives on in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved her. As a woman, she had her faults like we all do. People expected her to be perfect, and she was not. She lived under an enormous amount of stress, and at times it was too much. Her mistakes were magnified 10x by those out to hurt her, and her personal life the subject of many tabloids. She tried to fit in with the Royal family, but she was the People’s Princess-bringing happiness to sick children, meeting with lepers, and helping the hungry and the impoverished. She was expected to follow protocol and look the other way when her husband had a mistress, which must have been humiliating and embarrassing to her as the newlywed Princess. She became a mother, and was determined to show her sons a side of life that they might not have known otherwise. Unfortunately, just as she had found new freedom in her life and was perhaps happy for the first time in many years, her life ended. I often wonder what might have happened if she were still with us, what types of differences she might have made for those lives she touched and what might have happened to those that benefited from her giving and caring spirit.

My mentor. I interned for her over a year ago and recently a job opened that I have dreamed about for the past 6 years (and I just graduated college.) I wasn’t going to apply because I didn’t feel I have the experience required but after she encouraged me to apply, I did! I had an interview on Tuesday and am very hopeful about how it goes.
No matter how it ends up, this would be the perfect gift to say thank you.

Angela Davis! What a rad woman, person, force! She has challenged every status quo that can be challenged, and she continues to do so today. She has been on the FBI most wanted list, and she is now a distinguished and notable activist and professor. Her writing has changed the way I view so many things. I only hope that I can live up to a fraction of what she has accomplished.

I would have to say that I admire my maternal grandmother most of all. She married at 17 and quickly learned to run an efficient and economical home. She can make biscuits from scratch in the time it takes me to open a can of Pillsbury dough and is still madly in love with the man she married more than 50 years ago.

I admire my Grandmother most and I never even met her. See…. she died just 2 weeks before I was born but I really feel a connection with her. In fact, my Grandfather (her husband) and I were extremely close my entire life and he died at the ripe young age of 92. He always said I reminded him of her. Lillian was a crafty one and I too did not fall far from that tree:) The reason I admire her most is because she believed in higher education and had a Master’s degree in the 1940’s. She also did not marry the first time until she was over 30 and that in and of itself was just about unheard of in those days.

My mother is the woman I most admire. She is the strongest and most loving person I’ve ever met. I hope I can be even half the mom she has been to me.

My mom because after 40 years of marriage my father passed and my mom followed all of his wishes to the letter…several months after his funeral she walked me down the aisle of my wedding…..and didn’t shed a tear….she helped me that day to learn that God’s plan is always perfect…we may not like it at the time, but it’s always perfect. I wouldn’t trade having her walk me down the aisle for anything.

My mom, who I am so thankful for. She was a woman who had so many hardships in her life of having to raise 10 kids with a dead beat husband, but still had time to sing me to sleep and always had dinner ready when you got home. She taught me everything I know from being creative to being a strong woman. And despite all of her hardships she never took it out on us and still loved all of us the same. I love my mommy.

No doubt about it, my little sis. at a whooping 10 years younger, she manages to bring me back to reality and show me sometimes the only way to act is like a kid…
