You know I never thought of the how did she get to this point I just knew I loved her videos and have made several things using her method. To see how hard she had it and how she rose above adversity to bloom into such an amazing icon is wonderful. ANYONE can do it. Its just proof that we all have something special inside its just figuring it out and then running with it. How nice of her kids to spend that much money to get mom started. WOW what a family they have. thanks for sharing this article it just makes me like her that much more
