IT WAS ALL SALLY STRUTHERS'
FAULT.
Maybe my mom’s fault too. Seeing suffering children on TV got me pretty good as a six year old, but my mother’s endless example of compassion and love for others may have sealed my fate. I blame her for a lot of other things too, such as teaching me to think outside the box, but that’s another blog post. As a young woman I fell into an acting career in Los Angeles, and shortly after that fell into single motherhood so those two things kept me busy for a while. But it never felt right (the acting! I liked the mom part). I believed I was meant to help people, you know, make the world a better place. So I printed up a fake press pass and took my 11 year old son to the refugee camps during the Kosovo war. I saw what mattered. And I never looked back.
