Surviving
After getting through a recurrence of lymphoma that damaged the base of my spine, I’m left pondering the concept of survival and how it's not as easy as it seems.

Episode 12
The trauma is forgotten, but a single act of warmth and kindness provided a lifetime of giving back. That's how Tomi Holmes lives her life after passing through the foster care system when she was little. She is an inspiration for how to live a life full of love, perhaps her biggest gift of all.
Tomi is a volunteer for CASA, Court Assisted Special Advocates of Prince George's County--I served two terms on the organization's board of directors, which is how our paths initially crossed. For more information about CASA or to become a volunteer, please visit www.pgcasa.org
