When you think of the word ”successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

When I think of the word successful, darling, I don’t picture the loud ones — the ones shouting their victories into the void or tallying their triumphs like receipts. No, the first person who comes to mind is my grandmother.

She never ran a company, never gave a TED Talk, never posted a highlight reel. But she carried herself with that quiet, assured grace that said: I know who I am, and that’s enough.

Her kind of success wasn’t about money or medals — it was about meaning. She built a home that smelled of vanilla and Sunday roast, where laughter came easy and everyone was welcome. She was elegant without trying, generous without announcement, and firm when life tested her backbone (which, let me tell you, it often did).

She taught me that success isn’t about how much you have, but how much light you leave behind. It’s how people feel after you’ve left the room.

So yes, darling, when I think of success, I think of her — lipstick slightly crooked, hands that could fix anything, and a soul that never once stopped believing in the power of kindness and good shoes.

Because true success, I’ve learned, doesn’t shout. It glows.

Stay fabulous,
Luce 💋
