"Be strong, be fearless, be beautiful. And believe that anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you." — Misty Copeland
That's a wrap on another Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce annual gala! The businesses in our chamber celebrated our successes together and had fun doing it. With me at my trade show table is our indefatigable President and CEO, Randy Peers. It was my third year in a row exhibiting at our annual event, and I always meet fascinating people and entrepreneurs. I'm so proud to own a small business, and with your trust and referrals, I hope to share even more wins at this event next year.
I love that quote from dancer Misty Copeland because it gives you the permission to declare yourself as strong, fearless and beautiful - which is a gift I hope you give yourself this holiday season. You don't need to wait for these attributes or have them bestowed upon you by others. You already ARE each of these things. Maybe some days you feel stronger than others, and maybe some days you don't feel as beautiful. But I love how she says to BE these things, not feel them. Being beautiful, to me, isn't about physical beauty. It's about doing beautiful acts, leading by example, and being your best self both to others and to yourself too. We can all be our own worst critics, and my wish for you this holiday season is you put that negative voice on Out of Office and instead choose to show up for yourself and others as being strong, fearless, and beautiful. Because I guarantee people in your life see you that way, even during times when you don't. And they're there to support you too.
For those who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a warm and merry Christmas Eve! I'm headed to Pittsburgh to visit family and spread holiday cheer with gifts gathered from around the world during my travels this year. It's my favorite form of gift giving! As I'm visiting other countries, I find unique, locally-made, and travel-friendly (lightweight and packable) souvenirs to bring my family at Christmas. Over the years they've received skincare products made from Mexican cacao, ceramics and textiles from Portugal and Hungary, antiques from Athens and Budapest, handmade ornaments and whole bean coffees from around the globe, thimbles and paperweights for my aunts who collect them, and many more thoughtful travel treats. It's my way of showing I carry them in my heart, no matter where I roam.
This week you'll probably have conversations about where you want to travel in 2025, and I'm here to support you and your strong, fearless, and beautiful family and friends - with amazing travels all year!
Happy Everything to Everyone, and Merry All Your Days!
