It is somehow very humbling when dreams become reality and goals become tangible. This is the roller coaster of life where every loop gives you the momentum to get over a bigger hill next time. Knowing this doesn't make the journey less magnificent, rather, it helps to remind you to breathe.
What's in a name?
My last name, Hlywa, has no single traceable origin or meaning. I have learned by handing over my credit card to various cashiers, a former hair stylist, and my former manager that “Hlywa” translates to “beautiful” in Arabic. Aside from this and in the absence of a tangible origin, I have my own heritage that I have defined for this beautiful and unique name. To be a Hlywa woman means to have a mother willing to journey across an ocean from Poland to the United States in the hopes of finding safety and success for her family. Hlywa women posses an innate sense of survival, against any and all odds. The geography of the Hlywa family can be credited to a Hlywa woman who purchased land in northern Michigan to ensure the comfort of her father and husband. Hlywa women are pioneers. Every Hlywa woman I have ever known has overcome incredible obstacles, succeeded in life, and come through it all displaying her multi-dimensional independence and brilliant personality. Every Hlywa woman I have ever met is a leader. She is, without exception, a business owner. She possesses extraordinary communication skills. She is bold, eager and excited to delve into uncharted territory, she welcomes the challenge. Hlywa women are never defeatists. They are intelligent and extremely strong willed, often stubborn. Hlywa women are deeply, uniquely, and individually spiritual. She has a profound appreciation for art and music. She is inspirational and creative. All Hlywa women exemplify a profound love of nature and are awestricken by the world’s magnificence. She is honest, even if sometimes brutal in her frankness. Her power resonates from her soul, rather than her mouth or fist. She is beautiful, passionate, loving, and empathetic. Hlywa women stand firm in their conviction, regardless of popular opinion. Hlywa women seek mates with equal passion, conviction, and love. Few others love like a Hlywa woman.
