Today I am thinking of my Aunt Lizzie Mae Smith on what would have been her 89th birthday. When I graduated from college and moved out on my own, Aunt Lizzie Mae advised me, "Women who live alone should not buy dresses that button down the back." At that moment, I thought she was simply passing along a helpful wardrobe tip, but time has helped me understand the experience and the symbolic wisdom behind those words. I am so thankful for having had such an aunt who taught me so much about how to be a strong and independent woman.
