When you’ve seen me in person at events or at committee hearings, you may have seen my nails painted and been curious about the color choice or why I paint my nails in the first place. I get a lot of questions about it, and sometimes some funny looks, and I wanted to take the time to share with you the story of how this started.
When my daughter Bella was younger she would ask to paint my nails, initially I would only let her paint my pinky nails and over time as she got older and my schedule got busier it became so much more, especially now that she is out of the home in college. Every month when my daughter comes home to visit she paints my nails, it allows us undisturbed time to connect and talk about the many things going on in our lives, this is time I cherish. I have to admit, I’ve gotten into it over time. My daughter has full creative freedom over my nail color. Recently my nails were very festive, red and white to resembling candy canes!
