I started this “Impactful List of Women” on my 49th birthday (three years ago) and it has taken me this long to make it to #26.

The Women In My Life, Carin Snodgrass Miller, #21
Not many long term friendships begin in a VERY small work space with high stress, rushed deadlines and a daily high paced hustle.
