A 20 Year Anniversary Worth Mentioning

 

I want to take a moment to congratulate Lisa on her 20-Year Anniversary with the company she works for. I am so proud of her for so many reasons. She is an exceptionally hard and dedicated worker who has worked her way up over the years to Boss Lady. I couldn't be any prouder of her.

When I met Lisa back in the late '90s, she was the manager of a local convenience store in NH. Our hometown. I eventually became her manager-in-training. She taught me everything I needed to know. Eventually, I managed my own stores.

In the years to follow, even though we parted ways for a bit, her hard lessons and wisdom inspired me and led the way. Over 15 years ago, when I discovered my niche and what would become my lifetime career, including now, she was one of the mentors I was most grateful for.

In the here and now, our Bodacious Dog Mom Life is crazy. Schedules have changed over the past couple of years since buying our house. But. My wife is always there. We manage it all. We get it done. With lots of humor. Banter. Caffeine. Love. Encouragement. And. Lots of juicy furry kid kisses.

We never miss a moment to extend gratitude to our elders. 

Our parents. 

Grandparents. 

And beyond. 

They taught us to work hard. 

Listen. 

Learn. 

Earn a living. 

Embrace an honorable work ethic. 

Don't expect anything to be handed to you. 

Lead. 

Inspire.
