D. Willson grew up with an unassuming yet wise aunt who touched her life forever. Aunt Laveda was a teacher in an elementary school for thirty years. In addition to the many things she taught to her students, she also taught her niece, who has grown up to express her gratitude for the fruit of her auntÕs spirit in this small but powerful volume of memories on being thankful, slowing down, discipline, self-care, appreciation, enjoyment, selflessness, positivity, cooperation, and acceptance. Reading Ms. WillsonÕs heartfelt tribute is like gaining a new family member.
