A Passion for Beauty and Life

Posted Under: Quotables, Women4Women Journey | March 6th, 2010 | No Comments

Four Truffles has truly been a labor of love.  Every day brings much excitement and challenges to a young company like ours, but even though it’s an uphill climb for the most part, I can’t imagine doing anything else but this.

Having said that, I’m reminded of my trip to Peru and the endurance training I put myself through to make it up 17,000 feet high.  When your faced with the challenge of climbing the third highest mountain range in South America, you have to think long term survival.  It’s the same in business – endurance is key and you’ve got to pace yourself.  Entrepreneurship is much like going around, up and down the Andes and what I learned besides pacing myself is that I also had to pause every once in a while to enjoy the beauty of nature, the people around me and the experiences we shared together.

I’m so blessed to work with a wonderful team and to be able to combine my passion for natural beauty and for celebrating women helping women.

I love this biz!
