Relationships.
You know...
the good ones.
the ones that surround you with support & love & unselfish ways.
The kind that we DO have with someone very special that is leaving the Webster's Pages team to be VERY Brave.
She is listening to her heart, following her dreams & doing what she was MADE to do.
I am so proud of her.
Courtney Walsh, our current PR Manager, will be stepping down from her PR Manager role this month to follow her heart & plans to dedicate more of herself to her creative & writing career. Courtney has done so much for Webster's Pages Products, the Community, our Team & me. Before I really knew Courtney she commented on a blog post I did about a friend & business colleage of mine, Terri Hayes. The title of the blog post was "An Unexpected Friendship". She told me years ago when I wrote it how much she liked that blog post. It's funny how you remember little things like that because now Courtney also is that "Unexpected Friendship". A friendship that will last a lifetime. Yep, it's one of those. xo
And...now...let me tell you about a new relationship.
You know those "funny" little things/moments/thoughts that you sometimes have when you meet a person (usually rare though)...and never REALLY know why that person sticks with you but they "just do"...well, let me introduce you to someone that made an impact on me, years ago.
...there wasn't really anything professionally that we talked about.
...there wasn't really anything specific that we said we would do together one day.
It was just this feeling I had for years. Strange, I know.
But when Courtney & I had the discussion about her leaving to spend more time on writing & creating, this one "funny" feeling about this one girl came to mind.
Her name is Christi Cuendet and I am honored & excited to announce that she will ne our new PR & Executive Accounts Manager! Here is a little about Christi, from Christi :o)
And a new relationship has begun ♥
~ you can write Christi directly at ccuendet@websterspages.com or visit her FB page to say hello!
Good luck to you Courtney! When you follow your heart, the sucess will come. And welcome Christi!
