Standing Strong

Last summer I met her

I was mesmerized each day
As I saw her
Standing strong
No matter what life threw her way

I tried to capture her essence
As I photographed
From every angle
At all times of day and weather

Seeing life take rest
On her structure
While other matters beat away
On her foundation

Her scars were less apparent
As the sunset
She glowed
With colors of the night

Yet with each scar
I saw resilience
In daylight, it was most apparent
The scars part of her strength

In honor of the journey past
Ready to take on
All that was yet to come
She still stands strong

I am a true believer in the value of each person. We are each unique and are constantly changing with the pieces of our lives. Every person, place, and experience has an impact. As Founder of Pieces of I, my intention is to work with partners on purpose-driven projects and to empower people to follow their passion. My diverse background in supply chain, product, and partnership management has enabled me to see business from many viewpoints. Translating complex topics to help others understand is something that comes naturally. I love photography, and to write about life, business, and values. Sometimes these topics intermingle, just as they do in our day to day lives. Respect, compassion, and kindness weave throughout my stories because they are the pillars of who I am, and what matters to me. I am inspired by connection and the seemingly impossible. My inspiration comes from growing up in a large multinational family. Now as a mother of four, amazing, adult children I have the benefit of sharing the "teacher/mentor" baton with my kids, who are in return showing me a whole new aspect of the world from their viewpoint. Learning is endless, and helping others is one of the most important things we can do on this planet.
