Happy St. Patrick's Day ☘️
My maiden name is O'Malley, a very Irish name. This might surprise you...our family has ties to pirates. So, of course, St. Patrick's Day is a big deal for my family.
One of my favorite books, "Grania," is a novel about real-life Irish chieftain Grace O'Malley, a sixteenth-century heroine whose spirit and passion are the spirit and passion of Ireland.
Grania (Gaelic for Grace) is no ordinary female. She becomes her clan's unofficial head and breadwinner and learns to love a man. At the same time, she enters a lifelong struggle against the English forces of Queen Elizabeth -- her nemesis.
Elizabeth intends to destroy Grania's piracy and shipping empire--and to subjugate Ireland once and for all. But Grania and her lieutenant fight back.
The story of her life is the story of Ireland's fight for solidarity and survival--but it's also the story of Grania's growing ability to love and be strong at the same time.
We all must choose what we stand for, to have the courage to be strong and fight for what we want. At the same time, we need to realize that a life without love is pointless.
It is similar in the world of careers. What do you want to be known for? What do you want to accomplish? What companies do you align with? What would you love to do?
If you need help figuring that out, I'm here for you.
