Have you ever wondered what it feels like to have your image on the cover a magazine?
Betsy Sheppard of Gilbert & Sheppard knows all about that!
She knew it was going to happen – the PWB magazine article – but could not have predicted the outpouring of positive support and accolades that followed.
“It has been very humbling and gratifying at the same time. Truthfully, it’s also a bit odd to look at the cover of a national magazine and see yourself,” says Betsy. “I have to confess that having ‘my story’ told in such a public way was as awkward as it was thrilling. Now, I’m proud of the article and am able to laugh about the awkwardness of it at the same time.”
