Talking with Mama Vi
Mama Vi is getting ready to have a birthday the end of October. The big 75.
She hasn't been feeling all that well for the last bit, having trouble catching her breath and some other heart issues (along with everything else). BUT - even given all that, we've been having some great conversations.
A favorite of both of ours is when we talk business. Mama loved sales. She loved managing sales people. That's where I learned much of what I know - watching her.
So we'll often chat on my way home, me telling her about projects at work and her offering suggestions. She's even given me some great prospecting ideas.
I'm so very glad we're able to have these talks. As I said she really enjoys them, and I always learn something.
But every time we hang up I'm kinda sad. These talks get fewer and fewer - makes me wonder how long I'll have this pleasure.

Here's to Mama Vi, and the lifetime of invaluable experience and wisdom she shares with you and others. :)
