During the 80s and 90s, we all became consumed with ourselves. In the 21st century, we've come back to simpler times.

Without making errors--and learning from them--a man cannot find the truth.

That's who my mom is. She's a listener and a doer. She's a woman driven by compassion, by faith, by a fierce sense of justice and a heart full of love.
