Marcella lives in Nevada County, California, a beautiful forested landscape in the Sierra Nevada foothills. On this sunny late winter day, I sit in the living room of Marcella Hart’s home and sip on a hot cup of tea.

Marcella is about to share with me memories of her early years as a child and how her mother demonstrated so many good attributes, attributes that Marcella has always tried to apply in her life. The Dust Bowl was a horrendous situation for many in Oklahoma but Marcella, her Mom and sister endured.

As you will hear, Marcella recognizes tolerance and humility as active ingredients in her personality. These attributes empowered her mom to weather the challenging time periods that showed up in her life.
