A note from Kevin

My grandmother left a way of living behind.

My name is Kevin J. Durkin. Dorothy Rose Buchholz Tyler was my grandmother, my mother's mother, and one of the most remarkable people I have ever known.

Dorothy lived through more than a century of change. She met ordinary life with warmth, faith, and practical care, and those qualities stayed with the people who loved her.

I had watched her live this wisdom for decades. Years later, while watching an interview with Dorothy, I heard a familiar phrase in a new way. Before GARSH had meaning, it had a sound. The sound came first. The meaning followed.

One day is enough

You do not need to change your whole life today.

Start with one small step, and let Dorothy keep you company for seven days.
