A February Reflection

February’s Words to Reflect On—and Live By: Be TRUE

Webster defines the word true as: steadfast, loyal, honest, just, real, genuine, fully realized, or fulfilled.

I don’t know about you, but these are the very words I hope people think of when they think of me.

Being true to the people you love was instilled in me from the day I was born. I grew up in a deeply committed, loyal family—one that values honesty and believes your name is one of your most valuable possessions. Later, I married my true love, who comes from an equally honest and loyal bunch. You might say trueness runs through my veins—and now, through our children’s as well.

It’s easy to take for granted the people who show up for us every day. The ones who pick us up when we fall. The ones who make us feel special when we feel crummy and undeserving. The ones who remain steadfast and true, no matter what. Day in and day out, they’re there—through the happy and the sad, the shiny and the dusty, the bright and the blue.

These are the true gifts of life.

Just as truth was instilled in me throughout my childhood, I’ve poured those same principles into every bite of BeeFree. My goal has always been to create delicious, nutritious food made with the purest ingredients—always free of junk. Being true to you, our loyal followers and supporters, is the very heart and soul of BeeFree.

So this month, I’m focusing on being true to those who have shared their love with me. These are my people, and I love them with all my heart.

Below are photos of me at age 5 and again at 51, surrounded by my loving family. And if I had photos of you, I’d attach those too—because you’re part of this story as well.
