I don't even like firing people. I don't think I've ever said, 'You're fired' to anybody.
Martha Stewart
Image
Over the years, I learned so much from mom. She taught me about the importance of home and history and family and tradition. She also taught me that aging need not mean narrowing the scope of your activities and interests or a diminution of the great pleasures to be had in the everyday.
