1. I used social media to request feedback from those
who know me best…friends from each era of my
life, family members and co-workers. Here’s a
sample of what they had to say...

2. Michele Bernardino…

3. “…is dedicated to her
boys and their well being.”

4. “…loves Jack.”

5. “…can reassure a
worried Mommy.”

6. “…loves shoes.”

7. “…is true, silly, fun.”

8. “…is a prepared runner.”

9. “…is passionate in her
convictions.”

10. “…is strong and assertive.”

11. “…is a dedicated teacher.”

12. “…is caring, kind-hearted,
and generous.”

13. “…is a great mother
and wife.”

14. “…is committed to
her family.”

16. “The things
that make
me different
are the
things that
make me.” –
A.A. Milne
