Advice : “ It ’ s not what you do , it ’ s the way you do it !”
My mother “ did it ” was with class . I always called her the class-act of the family , especially while I was trying to find my way as a teen , and as a young woman . My God-fearing mother was a strong role-model , liberated before her time .
As an actress and business woman , who owned restaurants , a dress shop , a health club , and several real estate offices , my mother was modeling a role for me as a female , just by being herself . She was the fourth oldest of 13 children , who left home as a teen to join the army as a member of the Women ’ s Army Corp . She was a fearless and independent go-getter , always coming up with creative ideas , both in the household and in the boardroom . I learned to chase my dreams and take chances , while celebrating my strengths and passions .
Thank you Mom , the queen of my heart , for embracing all three of your children , and taking your youngest , sometimes geeky child , your only girl , and holding her hand until your very last breath . I am , because you did ! And the way you did it , was phenomenal !
Happy Heavenly Mother ’ s Day ! Marissa
