Pioneers Wear Prada

Okay - you know that movie, "The Devil Wears Prada"? Well, you are the farthest person from being associated with the devil - but fashion? Well, that's another story!

Sharon, you are an example of a modern-day Pioneer woman!

From your childhood, you have blazed new trails for good and where others would follow into lives of joy and eternal blessings because of you and your active integrity.

The past 10 years of my life have truly been blessed with you in them. You have been a Pioneer in education and leadership and then, with a dream and fervent decision to spend more time with your family, you became the Pioneer of Storybooking and moving Heritage Makers - and each of its wonderful consultants - forward into a life and future of hope, empowerment, faith, love, friendship and purpose.

I love how you stay true to always believing - and voicing your beliefs - in MIRACLES! I am inspired by you every time I talk with you and your friendship and leadership motivate me to be a better person.

I remember in the "early days" of My Family Tales, Candy and I would always say, when we were a little shy in the area of building a new business, that the "Mama Bear" would go in and "take care of her cubs" - and you always did. And I did not and have not thanked you enough.

THANK YOU SHARON!

Thank you for STANDING UP for what you believe in.

Thank you for showing us how to ACTIVELY reach for our dreams - and ACHIEVING them!

Thank you for being a HERO to so many!

Thank you for helping me DREAM again - and then helping me plan a way to reach those dreams.

Thank you for being a wonderful SUPPORT to me - it has meant more than you know.

Thank you for showing so many how to put FAMILY and FAITH first but to also be outstanding consultants, teachers, and other areas of life.

Thank you for being an example that woman can be FAITHFUL and FASHIONABLE too! It's okay! :)

Thank you for loving your FAMILY so much and for embracing TRADITIONS and creating new ones - you inspire me.

Thank you for being a wonderful "BELLA" to Connor and Ellie. You are so loved by them!

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARON DEAR! HAPPY DAYS WILL COME TO YOU ALL YEAR!

(This is a "Happy Birthday" song from Primary - Sorry - I have Primary on the brain - but it's so true! I wish you every happiness, every day - you deserve it!)

Thank you for being a PIONEER in so many aspects of your life! We are all better for your work, your vision and your love.

Love you,

Chris - and family

"We love you Bella! Happy Birtdhay!"- Connor and Ellie
