Stephanie times 2. I have 2 Stephanie’s in my life that have inspired me over the years. As mentioned in the Melissa Blog Page, they each have sisters named Melissa. Let’s start with family first. Stephane M. is my cousin. We grew up together and spent many weekends at the lake or at my grandparent’s house. As we got older and went on into high school, college, or got married, we didn’t hang out as much. I always followed my cousins and celebrated their accomplishments.

Stephanie has had 2 children and her daughter looks exactly like her. Both of her kids are bright and are off doing their own thing. Education was always very important. Stephanie went to nursing school while her husband served in the military. For whatever reason, she has always been drawn to the children. She is now a 4th grade teacher and completely loving her life.

Stephanie is truly living her best life with the love of her life. They love to travel and when not cruising, are out in their camper. She has always been inspiring and is constantly smiling. Her unique laugh is a joy to hear as well. Stephanie, I love you and THIS is your color.

Stephanie R.

I could be here for a while talking about Stephanie R. Today, I will only focus on 2 things – Leadership and Family. Stephanie doesn’t realize what an inspiration she is to others. She is a professional and runs 2 Dialysis Units. Her dedication to her patients, staff and company is amazing. When I am with her, she is never far from her phone and is always available to her team. OK, Except when we are in Mexico. Then she is 100% off duty.

Then there is family. Her leadership spills over into family gatherings and she usually always is lead on making sure we can feed everyone. As an Italian Cajun, you can imagine the food we get to eat when she is in town. From Pasta to Crawfish, we get it all.

Family is a vital part of who Stephanie is. Her life revolves around her daughter and husband. Those two have raised a wonderful young adult and are now empty nesters, as she is now a freshman in college. They come to town often and enjoy getting their pontoon out on the water. It is just big enough to carry most of the family. Stephanie’s favorite time is sunset on the water. Her husband does everything he can to make sure she gets that.

Knowing Stephanie and having her in my life has been a joy over the last 5 years. Her professionalism and dedication to her job and family speak volumes to me. Stephanie, your good nature and up beat personality are an encouragement to me. I hope you love your color! You can find it HERE!
