I smile a lot because my happiness makes other people’s faces light up. I laugh out loud because laughing is contagious and so very good for one’s soul. I get a good night’s sleep, watch butterflies, dream a little, learn something new, perform my public work, and be the best grandma I can because life is grand, and I want to share the fun with others EVERYDAY!
This essay and portrait is part of a community-art and leadership project called “wdydwyd?” Tony Deifell (KNLP-16) invited his colleagues in the Kellogg Fellowship to reflect on what motivates them to follow their personal and professional paths by answering the question, “Why do you do what you do?”
“wdydwyd?” has reached over 1.5 million people worldwide and it has been used for team-building at Google, Twitter, many colleges and universities, nonprofits and K-12 classrooms. And, according to Wired Magazine, “In Silicon Valley, that question has been the hottest team-building meme since Outward Bound – and it’s spreading.” For more information: http://wdydwyd.com/leadership.
