You could have knocked me over with a feather this past summer when I received an email stating that I’d been nominated for a business award. Here’s the email exchange between me and Carole Cunningham from The Saint John Region Chamber of Commerce:
To be recognized by your community in such a joyful way was like having the biggest group hug imaginable. To stand in front of four hundred and fifty friends, acquaintances and the business community elite, to try to express my gratitude was profoundly humbling. As I left the stage with my award tightly tucked under my arm, for a reasons I stumble to articulate, I felt quiet and keenly aware of what a wonderful time this is in my life. XO

Thanks for reading.
