Honoring my mother Beverly Harden, a master ikebana teacher and beautiful mother. She is graceful, elegant, kind, positive, and always helping people. Still helping by helping others, I advocate for her. I came to tell her story, and was very moved by hearing the stories of so many other people here at the Great Minds Gala. Beautiful and raw stories from people living with Alzheimer’s, heartfelt stories from caregivers serving our aging population, and hopeful stories from families who are working together to advocate for awareness and a cure. Grateful to all my family, grateful to all caregivers, and grateful to Andrew Proxmire for carrying on the tradition of his parents, Senator William and Ellen Proxmire, by fighting for advocacy, creative healthcare providers, and graceful healthcare facilities. #wewillfindacure #endalz #endalzheimers #integrace #leadingage #aginggracefully #ikebana #proudgrandma #workingtogether #healthcareprofessional thanks to @deannarussoclark for gracing me w @cirari earrings and @michaeljohnjewelry for rings and blings. #greenshoes and #glitterybag – bought em @stevemadden.
