I am SO grateful for you! Hosting an awards breakfast always causes me anxiety. I want our vendors to feel the love and support yet I know 7 AM is an early call for many, and so I worry. Will people show? As I looked out across that audience, my heart filled. SO MANY customers showed up for their vendors. I always tell our vendors, and I always told my students, that showing up is 90% of the journey. And show up you did. Thank you!
In the coming days, we must continue to show up for each other. As we traverse the turbulent waters, hold each other close, stand in your truth with confidence, remember to treat others like you would want to be treated, and alway be grateful.
All my best,
Cathy
