The Person: Betty Braun
Her profession: retired owner of her own hair salon
How I know her:
Aunt Betty is married to my mother’s brother, Bob. I have known her all my life, and she has consistently been the kindest, most supportive woman I’ve ever known.
When I was a theater major, she came to all my shows to cheer me on.
When I started my endeavors to become a movement master, she sent me notes of encouragement.
When I embarked on a life of fitness, she sent me inspirational clip-outs.
She took the time to hand-write letters to me and keep me informed in how the family was doing.
This was long before Facebook – and long after it became popular.
How she’s changed me:
Aunt Betty showed me at a young age that a woman could be an entrepreneur, owning and running her own business.
Aunt Betty may be currently struggling with her health, but she is a true vision of strength to me.
She has shown me nothing but her unconditional love and kindness for every day of my 37 years.
Since I became an aunt at 6, she showed me how to love and be a proper auntie to my nieces and nephews.
Whether you believe in prayer or positive vibes, please send some on the way to Aunt Betty. I’m sure she would love a return on all the love she has given out each day.
Honor and acknowledge the people that change you.
As always, it’s your call.
