A few excerpts: “I’m attacking it every day with everything I‘ve got until I’m exhausted, proud and celebrating. …I will never stop until I hit my goals. Ever. I think the team knows that no matter what, if I tell them ‘you will be promoted’ I won’t stop until they are. … I’m proud of my family. I have the best husband ever and he makes me fall in love with him again every day. I have two amazing, smart, fun-loving kids. I also have a great dog. Above all, I’m proud that I was able to have all of that while building an international business with revenues in the millions. As a mom I’m proud of the example I’m setting for my children. And as a woman I feel more ambitious for women everywhere. My accomplishments so far have shown that these days a woman can have a family, a career, and travel the world.” You can find the full story at http://bit.ly/2uMpDfu Kate Samson Valois writes that she and Jacques Valois welcomed Cecily Elizabeth on December 28, 2016, at 7:31 a.m. She said, “Hugo (2) is loving being a big brother; life as a family of four is great!” 2001 Lisa Stroh Libbey and her husband, Matthew Libbey, welcomed their first child, Georgina Stroh Libbey, on March 31, 2017.
