Cinque Donne: The Second Sister Honoree

As you know, from my last post, my new Cinque Donne font is named in honor of women, in particular, my sisters and girlfriends.

Today’s focus is on my sister Maryann.  She’s a mother four and grandmother of eight with one on the way!

The best way to describe Maryann is to use the word, Sweetheart.

She has a heart of gold and genuinely cares about people.

When I was nine, she was right in the middle of her teenage years.

That meant dancing with her girlfriends in the basement and talking about boys.

Of course, I was enthralled with both topics.

To my delight, she let me hang out with her and her friends and taught me all the latest dances.

That attention and inclusion made me feel so special. And I actually won a dance contest using the moves she taught me:)

That’s the feeling she still gives to everyone she meets.

When her daughter sees me dancing at a family wedding, she’s always quick to note,

“You dance just like my mom!”.

I’ll take that as a compliment!

Thanks, Maryann, for being such a loving sister, mother, and gramma.

Cinque Donne means “Five Women” in Italian.

It’s named in honor of my sisters as well as the group of five “Club Girls” I have had the pleasure of knowing since I was 14 years old!

But it also honors all women who continue to show up in their lives and the lives of those they love.

But for this post, I’m starting with a little bit of info about the oldest of my incredible sisters, Georgina.

Georgina is now retired and living in Minnesota.

But she spent years as an investigative reporter and then a technical writer for the remainder of her career taking time off to study geology in between.

Though she never had children of her own, she loved to shower attention on all of her nieces and nephews.

But before that, she beautifully played the role of big sister to me.

One moment that stands out is when I was 12.

I was going to be changing schools from one where uniforms were required, to a regular school.

With seven kids, just putting food on the table and a roof over our head took most of the family budget.

Georgina had been working at the city newspaper by this time.

 So she took me out to the local department store and let me pick out several outfits that she then purchased.

I felt like the belle of the ball.

It made all the difference in the world to this shy insecure pre-teen.

It also served as a wonderful example of how to be there for someone you love.

Thanks Georgina! You set the bar high for the rest of us.
