Julia, your title is spot on. There’s so much to admire about Iliana Regan: her grit and tenacity but also her unwillingness to lose hope, despite the darkest of times. Thank you also for sharing your own vulnerability. So many of us have moments where you wonder if everyone else is put together but you. I think we eventually realize that each moment is but a snapshot in a life journey. Sometimes the snapshots look amazing and put together; other times they’re messy and broken. Our opinions of each other are based on where we meet on our respective journeys. Thank you so much for a fascinating and inspiring article. I’d love to read Iliana’s book and check out her restaurant and bed and breakfast.
