In a conversation with my two brilliant, beyond-genius sisters yesterday, we agreed that it may not have been our mother, but we can each name that strong, silent, female mentor who believed in us and said exactly that: "You can do it. And don't do a half-assed job of it." We understand exactly what kind of leader and protector of the people that creates.

Yes, Georgia, yes!!! My women mentors were vital to my development. It’s so important to recognize their influence and then be the same kinds of mentors to others. Thank you for naming this! 🩵

Hi Sandra, I’m grateful for your comment. Lest my halo blind you, I should note that it’s taken me decades to figure that out. I burned myself out in my 20s and 30s with activities that were a poor fit for me. Hmm…I think there’s an article in this topic. Thanks for the inspiration! 🩵

No worries! It’s taken most of us decades to figure anything out!
