The Most Influential Woman in My Life

By: Mary Fran Bontempo

I’m lucky to be a regular columnist for Women’s Voices Magazine. It’s a great publication that celebrates all things women, with terrific writers from all walks of life.

Every month, our wonderful editor, Brenda Krueger Huffman, invites to think about a topic and write about it, if it so moves us. This October, the theme was: Women who influence your life.

After thinking about it, I realized that the woman who currently influences my life in the most profound ways isn’t a woman at all, at least not yet.
