Tia Nancy...

 
"I think that....sometimes, it is the people who no one imagines anything of - who do the things that no one can imagine."  ~ The Imitation Game

I have known Nancy (as well as her sisters, in-laws, nephews and nieces) for some ten odd years now. She has become a more impressive woman with every passing day, inspiring beauty, love, knowledge and an appreciation of life in all of us around her.  To her nephews and nieces, she is Tia Nancy.  In summers, holidays and sometimes after school (year round for the younger ones!) they happily attend Tia Nancy's School.  What a school it is!!!  Reading, writing and arithmetic for sure.  But, there is also art and dance and sports and community service!  And if that is not enough to keep one woman busy....there is her art...that she shares so genuinely and beautifully with so many.  Here is a very small peek into her inspiring world:

Love in all seasons.

Smart and amazing kiddo's...made even brighter through Tia Nancy's school and care.

Beautiful sisters.

Community service and cleaning up the neighborhood starts early.

Keeping the yard pretty.

Hard at work!

A family with the most indomitable spirit.

Has the necessity of 'hope' ever been put any better?

I love both of these.

A realization we can all apply.

I am so blessed and honored to be the recipient of this beautiful piece.

Nancy, you are truly beautiful and a blessing to those around you, having made the world a brighter, more hopeful place for so many.  Your support of me has been a gift more valued than I will ever be able to explain.  I love you. - c
