Everyone has someone who has helped them become the person they are. Someone who has helped them along with life's tougher decisions. Maybe a parent, a friend, a teacher or favorite uncle. Who has made the made the biggest impact on your life?

Good Q. Thanks. For me it was my grandparents who raised me. After raising 11 of their own, they took me on from the age of 3, as they were in their mid 60's. I lived in Upstate NY on a modest farm, for 17 years then went off to NYC for 6, going back as often as I had a free moment. They were a mixed couple. Willie was German, Paula was Lakota, and both raised kids gently, but purposefully. I wrote my first book about those years. Both "taught" by using examples, analogy, metaphor, with a pinch of osmosis, and minor preaching. It was the BEST life this child might want, though not one overwhelmed with BLING. Honesty was a law, not a subjective choice, Rules may have been vague in how they were judged in any breaking, but very defined in the first place of WHAT NOT TO DO, inappropriately. Wealth was less determined by money and "toys", than it might be today, but without question I felt and knew I was loved and wanted. I could go on for volumes, smiles, but I'd have to charge ya. :) Steven Wolf

My most inspirational person is my mother. She has taught me the things i need to get by in the world today. she has also taught me what I needed to know that makes me the mother i am today. When ever I need advice I can call her and she always knows the right thing to say to get me back on track.
