Friends, this is the latest installment in a series of writings about the strong women who have made a major impact on my life. These are my Steel Magnolias. They are tough, but fair, strong, beautiful, inspirational, and at the same time – humble. My life has been forever changed by these women.
Admittedly, I am a septuagenarian female that teaches in retirement, in an elementary Christian school. Read: I don’t do boxing. But, somehow, a ten-year-old granddaughter was insistent about watching the fight between Jake Paul and Iron Mike Tyson Friday night. I don’t know why. Boxing and fishing both leave me underwhelmed.

My own father, who loved fishing, was smarter and was jubilant to leave my chatty, active, distracted self at home with my mother. My granddaughter and I both fell asleep long before the fight, but I watched Saturday morning and came away with sad comments for leadership. No one will much care, but I get to say it, anyway.
