I know how to do anything, I'm a mom.

Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.

My mom and dad met at UCLA when he as a captain in the Air Force and she was in her junior year.

Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

I am excited to rise today to support National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day. This celebration honors the husband and wife business owner teams whose work helps drive the economy and fuel job growth.
