What is the best advice you’ve ever received? My grandma, Mimi, always reminded me to be as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside. These words have become the mantra in which I strive to live my life. Mimi was a very influential person in my life. She had a heart of gold and made everyone around her feel special. In my daily actions, I always make sure my intention is right in honor of Mimi.
