My guest is a mother, sister, artist, singer, grandmother and wall builder-it all depends on which hats she's wearing. And she wants you to know that she can swing a hammer as well. Ann Miceli Teed is a teacher of the Arts-she teaches teachers how to teach art. WOW! Listen to this episode of SHLTMM to hear more of her relationship with her mother, Ann.
Her mother Ann was glamorous, graceful and spiritual, says Ann Miceli Teed of her loving mother. One of 5 children and her mother's name sake, both Anns had a very special relationship.
My guest's father sang in the chorus on broadway and her mother worked at Saks Fifth Avenue in Manhattan before moving upstate New York.
Though Ann's mother has passed, she feels her mother's presence and guidance to this day. Ann credit's her birth order for her exceptional relationship with her mother, 4th of the 5 children and is thankful that by the time Ann was born, her mom was able to spend more one on one time with her because she had help from the older siblings. Mud pies was one of their favorite outdoor activities.
She credits her mother as one of her best teachers. With no formal teaching credentials, her mother was involved with children's events and community related activities that benefitted from her expertise and calm and creative demeanor.
To this day, Ann keeps her spiritual beliefs alive and attributes her mother's guidance to getting through each and every day.
