Inspiring Women Fall 2018

My Most Treasured Possession Is….
We’ve had a summer
home in the North
Carolina mountains
for years, but it’s so
much more than a
home. It’s my
sanctuary, my retreat,
my inspiration. It’s a
place to imagine, to create, to connect with
nature. I love gathering family and friends there,
and can already imagine my unborn
grandchildren enjoying it as well!
PRISCILLA HEFFELFINGER
A very simple solitary diamond ring my
father gave me when I was 16. His father
gave it to his mother when he was born.
It gives me a sense
of connection to
“family” and to a
very determined
grandmother who
weathered some
difficult times.
LUCY LAEDERICH
It is my husband…almost 35 years of
working together, building a family,
getting through tough times and
making wonderful memories.
Couldn’t ask for a better friend and
champion!
DOTTIE WAGLE
My most treasured possession if
anything, is family photographs. Those
dating way back to those of my family
within memory. They tell a tale of what
it was like back in time, family
likenesses, memories of growing up
and memories of raising a family. My
life really.
AGNES MEEKER
A small Buddha statue from my
long-time meditation and
Yoga teacher that she gave
me from her own “collection.”
I’ve known her since I was
twenty years old and am
grateful every day to have
met her when I did.
JENNY CIUCCI
My books. I have a small collection back in the US
and now here in Spain. There are two books that’ve
carried with me since my move to Europe: The Four
Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and Heal Your Body
by Louise L. Hay. The other is a boundary setting
book that I’ve left in the
US. I’ve learned so much
through books; they are
eye openers and
consistent teachers. I
have transformed my
life through books.
