Sharing Inspiration with My Niece

International Women’s Day is something that really inspires me. Though I cannot know what it’s like to be a woman in this world, especially with everything happening right now, I am inspired by the women in my life who have shaped me. My mother has the most consistent woman in my life and has helped me learn that life isn’t always fair, but that I can persevere no matter what comes my way. Catherine has helped to keep me kind in the face of situations that could have made me an angry and bitter person. She is as close to a sibling as she can be and knows me more than anyone else, and I could never express how much she inspires me to be better everyday. The powerful women of Do The Daniel show me the strength they each offer in this big beautiful world and their ability to navigate their respective lives while bringing their voice to our brand bring a tear to my eye. Let’s of course not forget my niece Rebecca.

A Letter to my Twenty Year Old Self

By now you’ve come to realize that I have many moments of inspiration. They usually hit me at random times in my life when I need them the most. And if this is your first time reading my blog posts (where have you been?) get ready for a truth bomb. I wanted to take a minute to write an open letter to my twenty year old self about the things I wish I had known earlier. Because hindsight is important, but it’s also never too late to learn a new lesson or two from it.  Continue reading “A Letter to my Twenty Year Old Self”
