What is a Jacquelination?

Everyone has their own footprint, trademark, scent and manner--this is what makes us stand out as individuals. The funny thing is that no matter how hard one tries, one will never smell their own special scent. Therefore, it's always amusing when folks openly share their thoughts about you.

When I left my previous job at a PR firm, my colleagues somewhat 'roasted' me and let me know what they'd miss about me. They said things like , "I'll miss your cheerful nature and honesty," and "we'll miss seeing you dance around the office," and "we'll miss hearing you say 'o-ish' and other catch phrases..."

I told everyone that I would still be with them because my 'Jacquelinations' would live on. I still keep in touch with my colleagues and many of them were at my recent wedding. I always smile to myself when I hear them say "o-ish." As I speak out on issues such as love, life and work, I hope you'll find some of my take-aways helpful in your own lives.
