Why I share my mother’s heart. And you can too.

The legacy we leave – Eartha Kitt’s daughter reflects on her mother’s teaching.
We all have some sort of legacy we leave. Whether we’re world famous or known just to our families, we all have something to share. And as we share, hopefully with love and compassion, we hopefully can learn to appreciate the impact EVERY being makes on someone. That person is the pebble in the […]

Shaking Things Up
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 […]
