“ I have a very open line of communication with both my children. ”
My family was musical on both sides. My father's family had a famous flautist and a classical pianist. My mother won a contest to be Shirley Temple's double - she was the diva of the family. At 8, I learned how to play guitar. I used to play songs from the '20s, '30s and '40s in the kitchen for my grandmother.
~ Gloria Estefan
Motherhood is... difficult and... rewarding.
My mom was a source of strength. She showed me by example that women, regardless of how difficult life may get, can do it all.
I'm very comfortable in my own skin now. I started just being myself more and more. For women, this happens as you get older. I loved my 40s - I thought they were fantastic. And I'm loving my 50s. I'm going to love everything because you're either older or dead!
