Jennifer: My mom. She's seriously the most amazing, strong, smart, inspirational woman I know! She's always been my best friend from day 1. She puts anyone and everyone before her self and is always there for those who need her. And now that I have a daughter I pray to be as amazing a mother she is to me!
Wendi: My mother. She lost her eye site about 9 years ago, and since then she has written a book, does webinar shows, completed college course, learned brail, and much more. She has also suffered the loss of her husband and many other personal traumas. Yet her strength and faith and belief in me is undying. She is truly amazing and she is my rock.
Olga: In this stage of my life, I look at my MIL (mother-in-law) as a role model. I strive to be as alive and interested in this world as she is at her age. She survived many things in her 86 years, even the loss of a son, husband, parents and a move far from her family as a young woman. Through it all, she retains a sense of humor, a loving acceptance and non-judgment of all persons she meets, and lives with an eye to the future to experience more for as long as she is given. She inspires me to be as good as I can be as well.
Sheri: The older I get the more the women in my family are my role models. My great grandmother taught me many things I use today. My aunts and cousins in- spire me daily. Researching the family history and seeing and hearing of all the things these women have survived and thrived and kept such incredible good atti- tudes, kindness and giving.
Ange: My former mother-in-law, Flora. She was married, yet so independent! She taught me things way back in the 70s that women needed to know to survive no matter what! Flora had a very gentle way about herself, yet she never, ever let any- one walk over her or her love ones! I remember when she would not only work a full time job at the local high school dealing with other folks kids for most of the day, she was on a bowling team, a foster parent, a foster grandparent, in the choir, in another church group, and would get up in time to walk with three other neighbor- hood women before they went to work!
This 85 year old woman has slowed down some, but not her sound, uplifting ad- vice, especially to and for the young women who are coming up in the world today. Flora has been and will forever be a role model to me!
