In honor of Mother's Day and to celebrate my mom's influence in my life, the guest on this episode is Ellie Berkey.  She is one of the kindest people that I know.  She continues to spread smiles to all those she interacts with, setting a great example for other 85 year-olds and for all of us.  We discuss:

-How to answer the question, “who is your favorite child”.

-Why EMPATHY is so important

-How she became so KIND and the influence of her parents

-How she makes the extra effort to make people feel special

-How my father finally understood the needs of my mother to be social and to work

-How she appreciates TRAVEL and exploration, and will remember it forever

Finally, she lives without regrets and continues to make great memories for herself and for others.  Happy Mother’s Day Mom!
