Love this history and how you’ve become so spectacular! I am proud of you for celebrating your accomplishments and for honoring all the hard work. It’s so difficult sometimes, isn’t it? That line between self-praise and excitement about our own accomplishments and not wanting to appear anything less than humble? Shine loudly my friend! And know I am celebrating you too!! ❤️
Thanks dear Tara!! YOU are a major inspiration on every front! I think women are definitely culturally conditioned to make ourselves small and unobtrusive. No. More. I'm learning and growing on this front every day. Grateful for all your support and I hope we can cheers a mug of something whipped before long! :) XO!
I love this. Inspirational and completely real, warts and all. Reading about your assent was riveting and also sobering. I've often treated accomplishments as items on a checklist, as I moved onto presumably, supposedly, bigger things.
And ending with my favorite bumbling Russian spies? <chef's kiss> The house Boris chose as a hideout! As he says, "very blendy in." LOL!!!
Enjoy your much-deserved break and the rest of the summer. :D
Grazie my friend...times infinity! In my personal experience, some of it is cultural conditioning, some of it is family/upbringing. But I am learning all the time by watching others take time to celebrate their growth. Every one is a time capsule: savor it, honor it, and then take what you've learned from it and keep going. Glad you enjoyed Boris and Natasha On Vacation...I mean, on an important sales retreat for Acme Aluminium Siding :)
I'm in awe my beautiful friend! Have a great and well deserved few weeks off, and please go eat a s*** ton of donuts for me 🍩 Btw, pics afterwards or it didn't happen 😉
Thanks Marmi!! You are incredible & I am grateful to be standing on the line with you passing out (read: EATING) doughnuts in this marathon of LYFE! Clink to more good things! 🥰🙏🏻
I love this so much, Sheila! The image of you on the train...and the polaroids...and the mayonnaise...and "step outside while we deliberate" (I remember that!)...and all the reverse cultural training we (women, especially) have to do about "be humble! shhhh!" -- instead settling deeply in to our righteous pride. Yay for you for this, and this piece, and the BOOK!!!! This is my fave Sheila-stack yet. xo
