I am passionate about advocating for the sorority experience
and helping NPC reach its desired future and when I stop to think about it, I
realize I have this opportunity because I have a loving and supportive
family. So it was a special blessing
when I was in California between AFLV-West and the Hill visits, that Bob, my
husband of 33 years, and I were able to spend a week with our precious daughter
Mary Leah, who is a writer for TV, to celebrate her birthday along with some
special friends.
We had so much fun
hiking Runyon Canyon which offers breathtaking views of Los Angeles and an
amazing photo op of the “Hollywood” sign! Then it was off to Santa Ynez for some relaxing days on a mountain top
horse farm, visits to world class wineries and the Santa Barbara Vintner’s
Festival. Even though our days were
filled with fun events, my favorite time was in the evenings when we would
relax on the farm and take in the beautiful vistas. We had a great time working together to make
fabulous family meals and sat around that table for hours laughing and sharing
stories. It’s all about making memories!

With Mother’s Day this Sunday, as I reflect back on this memorable week, one of my most cherished moments is the couple of days I had to spend with my daughter before her Dad and our friends arrived. Maybe we cherish the bonds of sisterhood because we have learned the impact of personal bonds with people through our family, friends and children. I am so proud of the woman my daughter has become and on this Mother’s Day, I am blessed to be her mother.
So, I remind all Panhellenic women to take time to make your own memories.
