41: Cathie Miller
from Words of the Wise Hosted by Lexie Manor
Childhood lessons from growing up in a family with seven kids and learning to embrace her differences. The advice her mother gave her: “Catie, there is nothing wrong with what you are, you’re the best.” Meeting her late husband, Steve, and their 50-year marriage. Raising four boys. Wisdom for younger generations: “Work hard, talk less.” Her faith-driven outlook on life: “God will be there every time… and that door that shut, that window will open every time.” Stories of biking hundreds of miles cross-country—her “recovery plan” being a nice meal, a cozy hotel, and two beers. Why her life philosophy is to always “walk in a room and smile and be open to everybody, and they’ll come to you.” Soli Deo Gloria.
