Okay... I have not stopped being kind... I've just been in bed. I have been very sick for days. My act of kindness has been that I have stayed home... not only to feel better but so that other don't get my germs. Frankly, I wish more people did the same.

I am Raising Warrior Moms
Yesterday I was there to witness the birth of my grandson, Holland Maitland Jessop. My daughter, his mom, is a warrior! Her labors and deliveries are much faster than mine ever were.

Look Beyond What You See
I have been living and breathing the story of Lion King over the past few months. I had the honor of directing Lion King Jr at a local school.
