Waddle over, friends, because I have a tale to quack about that’s sure to bring a smile to your beak! Nestled in Florida’s sun-soaked state is a remarkable woman named Angie who stretches her mothering instinct far beyond her children. Being a mom is a big enough job, but she’s not just a mom; she’s a paralegal prodigy, a business maven, a scrapbooking sensation, and a motorcycle enthusiast. Her story is like no other!
Everywhere Angie goes, she radiates positivity like the sun on a perfect day at the beach. I’m sure everyone has their off days (even yours truly might float a little askew at times), but I’ve yet to see Angie without that dazzling smile. And she does all of this while juggling the roles of entrepreneur, social media guru, teacher, and, of course, a devoted mom and wife. She’s like a supermom with a cape made of kindness!
Now, let’s rewind to discover how she got to this fabulous place in life. Picture this: a young Angie, only 18, living independently just down the street from her parents. Dreaming big, she couldn’t wait to dive into the world of paralegal work. With a leap and a splash (not unlike my jumps off the tub rim), she started her journey, quickly outpacing her formally trained peers. I’d say she’s like that bright toy sailing across the water, leaving all the other ducks in her wake!
Then she met a man with a similar spirit, and they married! With dreams of raising a family, she knew she needed something to keep her at home when those cute little ducklings arrived. After some quackerjack teamwork, she joined her husband in operating a credit card processing business, but Angie wasn’t done yet!
With a passion for scrapbooking, she dove headfirst, distributing supplies and teaching others the craft. You bet she mastered it!
Soon enough, the warm Florida sun called out to her and her family. Ever the planner, Angie orchestrated the perfect move, carefully timing it so her kids could start high school in their new sunny surroundings. Off they went, and like a proud duck following her hatchlings, she helped her family take their next big leap.
Once settled, Angie didn’t sit back and soak up the rays—oh no! She launched her Personal Assistant business, gathering clients like I gather bubbles in a bath. Whether organizing insurance claims or tackling bookkeeping, her charm and relentless energy had clients lining up. Every completed project seemed to spark new needs, but she always found a way to help, pushing through obstacles faster than I float past a rubber whale!
Angie’s compassion shines like a beacon despite all the hustle and bustle.
On a recent visit, she noticed my humans struggling with populating our website. With a heart as big as the ocean, she put the brakes on what she was doing, swooped in and coached them through. Who needs life buoys when you have Angie around?
Today, she and her husband run a vibrant community for motorcycle enthusiasts, a venture they launched in 2020. Why motorcycle enthusiasts?
Well, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Angie’s Mom shared with me that Angie’s first motorcycle ride was at just six weeks old, making her passion for bikes run deep.
Raising a family took precedence over her love for riding, and even though she enjoyed being the passenger, she knew she wanted to be the rider one day.
In true Angie style, she earned her motorcycle license within a month, pushing through obstacles faster than I float past a rubber whale! At the start of the month, she took her beginner’s driver’s test, and about one month later, she embarked on the challenging Tail of the Dragon.
Angie is a force to be reckoned with, letting nothing stand in her way!
So, here’s a quack of gratitude to Angie, an inspiring whirlwind of kindness and determination who shows us that you can paddle through anything life throws at you with a sprinkle of passion and a dash of compassion.
Thank you, Angie, for being a magnificent inspiration! Your resilience, determination, and compassion are beacons of light for us all. Now, who’s up for a ride?
THANK YOU, ANGIE, FOR AN INSPIRED
