a few) also fill my heart with grace. These three precious
angels have special needs, yet they hear my voice on
television and they become overwhelmed with excitement.
I am so lucky to be loved by such pure little souls and I
am even luckier that their parents take the time to contact
me and arrange for us to meet. Many of the parents explain
to me through email or Facebook the amazing way their
children react to my commercials. All of this is lovely, but
to see it firsthand....it is breath-taking… to see the children
in front of me…to hug and hold.... it is truly life- changing.
My life is overflowing with love because of my fans: I am

the time to encourage our young women to pass the torch

of success, tenacity and conviction. Women are truly “Jacks
of all trades.” We raise children, care for our husbands or
partners, keep a household, nurture the family and maintain
familial health. We’re active in the workforce, television,
radio, and as internet censors. We protect our country, we
are school volunteers and facilitators of extracurricular
activities, we are private tutors, personal therapists,
entertainment planners and nutritionists. We teach morals
and values, care for the family pets, we are lovers, we are
