In the middle of my internship an inspiring thing happened to my daughter. She reminded me of a story in Mother Daughter Wisdom where a mom asks her daughter for three women who she wanted to emulate. When she gave three who were all dead her mom said "No, they have to be living." Well as you can guess within a month she had tea with the first lady, within a year the second, etc.
My daughter told me that when she read that story she thought of Jane Goodall. Well she was thrilled to report that within six months she had met Jane Goodall, spending two hours with her at a Roots and Shoots event at the Orokonui Ecosanctuary. She was on cloud nine.
I await hearing her next choice.
Now I am going public that Donna Karan is on my list.
