Prompt #10:

Death To Stock
2 min readMar 9, 2016

Describe a woman in your life who has impacted you deeply.

My mother — my maker — is a phenomenal woman.

She left her native England at 22 for a solo trek to the US, with a one way ticket, a bright blue suitcase, and an unquenchable thirst for adventure.

She’s a nurse, a researcher, a world traveler, an amazing chef, a beloved friend, and a mom who raised 3 hoodlums with a firm hand and tender love.

No matter how crazy her work day, there was always a home-cooked dinner on the table, and lunches packed for us every morning. She’s never asked me to tone down a single goal, and has helped me carry myself through life’s bumps and scrapes and roadblocks. She’s taught me commitment, devotion, and strength. She’s the love of my father’s life, and the guiding light of mine.

We should celebrate the powerful women in our lives, on National Women’s Day, and every day.
