In every journey—whether personal, creative, or professional—there are those whose wisdom becomes a guiding light, illuminating paths we may not have seen on our own. The people we admire and seek for advice shape our perspectives, challenge us to grow, and remind us that wisdom is not just knowledge, but experience shared with care.
The Mentors Who Shaped My Path
There have been countless individuals who have influenced my journey, but some hold a special place in shaping how I see the world.
🌿 The Teachers Who Inspired My Love of Learning From the educators who nurtured my curiosity in childhood to those who continue to guide me as an older college student, I carry their lessons with me every day. Their dedication reminds me that learning is a lifelong adventure, not just a destination.
📖 The Writers and Poets Who Ignite My Imagination I turn to great literary minds—both classical and contemporary—to understand the beauty of storytelling, the power of words, and the rhythm of poetry that transcends time. They fuel my creativity and remind me that stories are vessels for truth, transformation, and connection.
✨ The Colleagues and Friends Who Offer Encouragement Alongside those who teach, there are those who walk beside me—colleagues, peers, and fellow seekers of creativity. Whether through collaboration or heartfelt conversations, their insights shape my perspectives and remind me that the best ideas often emerge in shared moments of reflection.
🏛 The Leaders Who Strive to Make a Difference As a school board member, I admire those who champion education and advocacy, ensuring students receive the resources they need. Their dedication to progress and their fearless leadership inspire me to contribute, to listen, and to grow in my own role.
Who Guides You?
The people we admire and seek advice from are often mirrors reflecting the values and aspirations we hold dear. Who are the voices that shape your path? Who do you turn to when you seek direction, encouragement, or wisdom?
I invite you to reflect on those who have guided you—past and present—and to honor the impact they’ve had on your journey.

🌿 A Personal Tribute: My Sister, My Guide
Among the voices that shaped my journey, one stands out in a way that words can hardly capture—my sister, Candy. We were twenty years apart. She was more than just a sibling. She was my best friend and my confidant. She was one of my greatest sources of wisdom.
She had a way of seeing the world that made every challenge feel surmountable and every moment worth savoring. Whether through her quiet encouragement or her laughter that filled a room, she carried a warmth that made life’s uncertainties feel less daunting.
Her passing last fall left a silence where her presence once was, but her guidance still echoes in the choices I make, the dreams I chase, and the lessons she left behind. I carry her wisdom in my heart, just as I carry the memory of the sister who shaped so much of who I am today.
💜 To those reading—who are the guiding voices in your life? The ones who lift you up, challenge you, and leave imprints on your journey? Take a moment to reflect on their impact and, if you can, let them know how much they mean to you.
