As I sit here writing this letter to you, I’m overwhelmed with the women who come to mind. As a woman, daughter, sister, wife, and mom myself, I can wear a lot of titles in one day. And yet, we all do it without a blink of an eye.
As I think about each of those titles, they all mean something different to me. As a daughter, I can still see myself as my parents' kid, coming to them as an adult for advice and guidance. As an older sister, I try to lead by example with compassion and open-mindedness. I also know exactly when to throw in that “I told you so!” older sister line. I have to keep her in her place! As a wife and a mom, I’m always listening, supporting, and showing up where it matters the most.
I love having all these roles in my daily life. It brings me joy to be able to give in many different ways. And that’s what I’ve learned about all women—we really do play a lot of roles in our day-to-day life, which is why I’m excited for this issue to help bring them to life for you.
We also learn from one of Scottsdale’s most famous alumni, Busy Philipps. And how to dress to impress and show ourselves through style with DeAnne Dupree. We can be hip and environmentally friendly with said fashion choices, as well as a new shoe line.
So to all the women out there, keep going, because the only thing holding you back is you. Let’s continue to do good, be good, and make Scottsdale even better with what we do.
