Sometimes, someone else says it best. Like this lovely and accomplished septuagenarian Phyllis Richman.

I was totally taken with an article published in The Washington Post earlier this month. It was written by Ms. Richman, in response to a letter she received from Harvard University in 1961. I encourage you to read both (really, three) letters–a shining example of so many truths in this life.

P.S. The Washington Post article can be found here. Phyllis Richman’s photo was taken by Linda Davidson for The Washington Post.

P.P.S. I love that she kept the letter for fifty-two years!
