Back in 1990 when I graduated from Quinnipiac College, I was ready to take on the world with my degree in hand. This year marks the 20th year since graduation. As I reflect on how I’ve grown over the years, I realize that my passion around empowerment was present back in the 90′s. At that time, I lacked the confidence and wherewithal to tap into it. In cleaning my office this morning, I came across my Q.C. yearbook. I smiled as I visited old friends and wondered what had unfolded for them on their journey. There were lots of smiles as I reflected on my transformation to independence at Quinnipiac. My voice back in 1990 left these words in print.
Never stop dreaming. Whenever you reach a goal, make a new one so that life will always be a challenge.
Wow! I still believe that! In fact, next weekend will find me at a goal setting retreat with my Women’s Empowerment Network sisters. It is amazing how I look and feel different from graduation but at the core, my beliefs remain strong.
What was your message when you graduated? I’d love to hear it.
Stay Empowered!
