Beautiful post, as always, Vicky! It made me stop and think about the people who have quietly shaped my own journey over the years. We are lucky to have people around us who help us grow, support us, encourage us when we hesitate, and keep us going when we are about to give up. Thank you for this beautiful reminder.

Thank you for your wonderful comment, dear Eva! I’m so grateful for you and for meeting you so many years ago. I think it was 2010! I learn so much from you, I am motivated and feel so supported by you! Thank you!!!

Thank you for this thoughtful post Vicky! You’ve put to words what I’ve always believed. We truly are the product of everyone who’s ever cheered for us, given us opportunities and believed in us.

How lovely this post is, Vicky! When I look back over my shoulder (what a beautiful image you created with that!!), I see a lot of cheerleaders. Even people I only knew for a short time from short conversations built me up and sustained me on my journey. I never, never could have come as far as I have without those other people. And I also see people beside me, shoulder-to-shoulder with me, like my partner, and like *you*!! I’m so grateful for you!! ✨⭐️
