Harvard gave her a special award in 1927. Teaching Braille was her occupation and playing music was her passion. Hettie played eight musical instruments and performed at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. She married her sweetheart who was also blind and their love story will bring tears of joy. After he died, she ended up in a nursing home at the age of ninety-three where the author came to see her weekly. Hettie's maternal grandmother was full blooded Cherokee and a shaman. Hettie inherited her gift of spirit and she gave the writer her guide to health, happiness and serenity through ten unforgettable maxims that taught him how to celebrate life.
