As many of you know, I lost my mom when I was 11 years old to cancer and my dad last year. During my birthday I always tend to miss her the most and now my dad as well! She was only 41 when she died and since my 41st birthday I feel so lucky to be alive and to be with my family. Instead of getting gifts from my family, every year I participate in random acts of kindness. Chris, the kids and I will do 50 random acts of kindness. My mom and dad were immigrants and taught all four of us the art of giving back to our community. She was a teacher and because we lived in a community of immigrants many of the women would come to her for guidance. Our house was always that house, there was always someone over. I learned so much from my mom and dad. The above picture of my mom I keep on my desk by my laptop. The one with my dad I keep by our dining room table. It is something I look at multiple times a day! It drives me to be a better mom, sister, friend, wife, and educator. I am constantly thinking how can I grow. Congratulations to Valerie who has taken a position with Napa County library. Her last day with us will be January 4th. We will miss you!!
