Next on my list of wonderful women in my life is Martha Newman. Martha is like my family here in Decatur. She is one of the most resourceful women I know! She should have been an engineer because she can build just about anything she puts her mind to. I admire her so much for her fearlessness when it comes to approaching a big task - she's not afraid of anything! But more than that, I love her genuine spirit and “matter of fact” view of life. She is honest and trustworthy, and she will always tell me the truth. She has also been blessed with a green thumb and if she doesn’t know something about a plant, for instance, she researches it until she finds out. I love that she takes such pleasure in her interests (i.e.: plants, birds, nature, food, cooking, etc.); and I especially love her for sharing her knowledge with me every now and then. She takes care of me in so many ways. I also love the fact that she provides me with a great example of a loving and healthy couple in her relationship with her husband (who also takes very good care of me, but this is about the WOMEN in my life for now). Thank you Martha, for everything you mean to me!
