Update from Carrie...
January 21, 2015
Dear 1st Impressions Team,
Well, I had started this email to you all on the 19th of January and since then my life has been turned upside down. In full transparency, I wanted to let you know what's been going on as you are my community, my Stella & Dot family. I'm so sorry I've been MIA recently. Once again I'm so very grateful to have a flexible job that can take a back seat when I need it to.
For the past week+ I've been by my oldest, life-long friend's side as she continued to courageously battle her breast cancer. She lost her fight on Sunday. The final days were the most heart-wrenching of my entire life...yet, in an unexpected way, also had beautiful elements. The outpouring of love and support of family and friends has been beyond anything I've eve experienced. Her service is this Saturday so I'm immersing myself in that with family and friends.
Tragedy struck again yesterday when my daughters' friends' father was killed by a shooter at a Boston hospital where we was a surgeon.
And thirdly, my son's teammate's sister died this past weekend at age 17 of a seizure.
Words cannot describe the anguish, shock, sadness, and emptiness we are all feeling. Clearly I need to take time to grieve, help myself, and help my family.
I feel so grateful for Stella & Dot. To not have to worry about checking in with a boss, to know that my business will be there for me when I'm ready for it, and to know I also have the ability to help raise funds for both Triple Negative Breast Cancer Research, Melinda's dear family who is also my family, and also for these other families...words can't describe the appreciation.
Please, please, please: do your self-exams EVERY month. Mark your calendar so you don't forget. Melinda had a clean mammo in Sept. 2013 and was diagnosed with Stage 3 in January. She fought for a year. We all know life is precious. Live it fully and pay attention to what your body is telling you.
When I return next week, let's implement your plan to help you reach your goals and achieve your dreams! This is the year we've all been building up for. Share your goals with your sponsor to hold yourself accountable--do it together--do it with our team. We're here to support YOU!

Carrie
