I was genuinely at a loss for words today.
This was such a personal and private moment for me, and while I don’t necessarily feel comfortable explaining all the emotions behind it publicly, I do want to share the kindness.
Unbeknownst to me, Tuesday was National Mentor Day. I had no idea!
I’ve been out sick and hadn’t been to work since last Friday. When I finally returned today, I walked in to the sweetest surprise. At first, I thought Ronnie had left it because my husband is always doing thoughtful things like this for me.
But when I found out it was Ronisha, I was genuinely touched.
Without getting too personal, sometimes I think people see me as this strong, tough woman who always has everything figured out. And sometimes, that means people forget that I have feelings too. That I need encouragement, appreciation, and kindness just like everybody else.
So when someone takes the time to think of me without me asking for anything, it means more than they probably realize.
I don’t even really look at myself as a mentor. I just see myself as a big sister who wants to see other women learn, grow, and succeed. If I know something that can help you get further, I’m going to share it.
Ronisha FavorBeauty AndWax , thank you so much for thinking of me. You have no idea how much this meant to me. Not just the gift, but the thought behind it.
Sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that remind you that you’re seen and appreciated. And today, I really needed that. ❤️
