Když jsem měla před lety rozhovor s Muriel o
mentoringu, ani mě nemohlo napadnout, jaké dary za ty roky dostanu.
Na začátku je vždy trocha magia, s kým mě ten
rok spojí osud... a pak se těším na každé setkání s danou ženou.
Vzpomínám na všechny ty ženy a každá je skvělá,
krásná a jedinečná, a přitom každá tak jiná!
