We have gone to two funerals and a wedding together in less than one year.  Those experiences bring friends even closer! I'm talking about Lisa Robertson and me.

It is with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to Lisa at the Q. We will definitely miss her, but she has worked tirelessly day and night, day after day for years, and does she deserve a little 'me' time? Absolutely!!! She has poured her heart and soul into the Q, as well as blood, sweat, and tears for 20 years and has put up with sore feet, meals on the rush, very little sleep, long 14 hour days sometimes, and no time for much of a social life!

Lisa deserves to sleep in, have lunch with friends, go on a date on a Friday night, and just put her feet up when she wants to! When she announced she was leaving, I told her to just focus on herself for a few months. Even though I admire her tenacity and ambition and hard work ethic, life is short, and it's okay to take a break. It's also okay to change directions if you are so led.

Lisa is multi-talented, so smart, so beautiful, so funny and I have no doubt she will dive into exciting work again, but in the meantime, she deserves to focus on home, family and friends.

I've known Lisa for 20 years, and she has been a true blessing in my life! She has a generous heart and she truly cares for others. I love her and will miss her, but I know we will be friends for life!

God bless you, Lisa! I can't wait to see what God has set aside for your future!

Love, MB
