I work with some of the most pleasant people on the planet. I know - I've been blessed.
Take Blanche, for example. Born in the Peach State, this modern-day Southern Belle is well-educated in business as well as in areas of music, art, crafts and the French language.
But unlike her early 19th century ancestry, the purpose of Blanche's college education wasn't to prepare her for an advantageous marriage. Rather, this bold and beautiful woman has broken the glass ceiling in modern day corporate America; leading a division responsible for streamlining operations around the globe.
She lives out of a suitcase weekdays and heads home each weekend to this southeastern state known for their grits, ripe peaches and sweet, Vidalia onions. And like Miss Donna, she works hard for the money!
Blanche is often the first person to arrive at the crack of dawn and one of the last in upper management to leave. And she never complains.
Her southern culture and style is warmly celebrated and accepted throughout the office. A stylish fashionista, Blanche has a heart as big as her plantation and her chic wardrobe. "Just because we’re in the middle of a national economic recession" she whispers, "doesn’t mean you can’t look oh-so-fabulous!"
I like Blanche. She makes no grits about understanding all the rules to succeed for being a proper, modern day, Southern Belle in a man's world. She's also quite accommodating and one of the first high-powered executives to go out of her Georgia peach way to assist in any way she can.
So naturally I was touched when Blanche offered to help me with an online vitamin and supplements order I couldn't purchase - nor have delivered - to my home address. Adds Blanche, "that's because every smart Belle knows that half the fun of shopping is getting a great deal on something gorgeous - even vitamins!"
There goes Blanche again. She didn't have to do that. But it's the southern way of this Cherokee Rose.
To life and living it,
Ineda
