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, andhelping others is one of the most important things we can do on this planet.

Beautifully written and poignant. I particularly like “Seeing life take rest/ On her structure/ While other matters beat away/ On her foundation”
I love the language you use here, and the line breaks are perfect. ❤️
