This is one of the tenets behind The Girls. Much of what we do is based on this; from our professional fittings and beautiful product selection to supporting Coverdale Center for women. This tenet thrives deep in the hearts of Ann and I, The Girls.
As I was writing a blog for Mother’s Day I realized that for me, this principle came from my mother. Through every step in my life she has encouraged me. She is my best advocate and believes strongly in what I can do. But it wasn’t mom as my cheerleader that gave me this principle. Rather it’s how she models it in her own life.
My mother is the youngest person I know. She is exuberant, joyful, and an adventurer. She retired at the early age of 47, became a painter, and has written her first novel. All because she believes she can! It’s not an arrogance thing, she believes in her potential and has enough self-esteem and confidence to know she’ll do well; success or fail.
I’m so thankful that I learned this from her. I’m a successful career woman, co-own a fun and demanding business with Ann, journal an online travelogue, am penning my own novel and poetry, create my own art work, trying my hand at making my own clothing, and have become a runner...all because I believe I can.
Ann and I are similar that way. She is a doll maker, co-owns two demanding businesses, sketches, writes, and runs...all because she believes she can.
For Ann, I believe the principle comes from being a mother and wanting to pass this down to her beautiful daughter. There is so much potential in her young hands and imagine how much more she can accomplish, if she believes she can!
Happy Mother’s Day!
