Ah, Eartha’s wisdom was simple, yet profound. She didn’t need many words to make a point. She would often say, “Don’t Panic. It doesn’t change a thing, and only makes it difficult to see the options that may be in front of you.” Easier said than done, I know, but as a person who […]

I was born with the perfect personality to be an only child. Good thing too, because I’m not sure my mother had any other names if she had had more children. 🙂 I had, and still have, no problem spending time alone. A trait I shared with my mother (no shocker there). I know many people who […]
My mother taught me the power of imagination and parenting, Eartha Kitt style. “I like to use the freedom of my own imagination.” ~ Eartha Kitt Video Transcript So Mother’s Day memories and stories that I would love to share with you. I like to share stories with people about my life […]

Be Your Own Valentine. Let’s make Valentine’s Day a day we celebrate loving ourselves and teach our children the importance of self-love. “It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self-love deficit.” ~Eartha Kitt #EmbraceWhoYOUAre […]
Behind every strong woman is a strong role model. For me, that was my mother. My mother was definitely a woman who shook things up. And, not necessarily because she was fearless. In fact, I think it was often fear that motivated her. What continues to amaze me even at the age of fifty-six and […]
Our mother daughter style was quite different. Aside from the difference in our height (she was five feet two inches and I am five feet seven inches), skin and hair coloring ( check out my post Why Don’t You Look More Like Your Mother?, for more on that), my mother, Eartha Kitt, was attracted to […]
My mother ‘Eartha’ gave thanks every day. She understood the blessing of waking up each morning and being able to see. That’s right, just see. Because, the gift of sight, as well as hearing, albeit simplistic, is, in fact, just that, a gift. And, my mother understood the profound power of the simple blessings many […]
Mother Eartha, Eartha Kitt, taught me to that we are ALL made to be UNIQUE and the importance of loving and accepting that fact. I was watching Shark Tank recently (yes, I love that show), and saw two young girls, kidpreneurs, Madison and Mallory, pitch their company Angels and Tomboys, and make a deal […]
