This photograph of the Tampa Bay, Skyway Bridge represents my journey through life and the obstacles, experiences relationships, wins and losses I have encountered over my lifetime thus far. At first glance, some might say this is just a bridge. The longer you look at the picture you begin to see the subtle complexities of the bridge and the long journey across to the other side. The Skyway Bridge is supported by 32 pillars and the cables are anchored with reinforced concrete pylons making its structure able to endure weight, wind or stress. I, philosophically consider the photo the 32 pillars of Leadership. The cables represent holding the structure together with resilience. The most important ones that define an effective leader and have worked in my journey are caring, empowering, being genuine, supportive, and self-controlled, ethical, peaceful, humble, decisive, problem solver, knowledgeable, collaborate and respectful, and consistent. The bridge signifies my journey and how it has shaped my identity through the experiences I have encountered as a mother and wife, relationships with co-workers and friend, my passion for senior care, and the recentering beauty of travel, art, photography, animals. The skyway bridge the sky is the limit.
