STEEL 

• Steel is very strong and as a verb, steel means to fill with resolution or determination.   In other words, make it   happen.  Following your dreams is hard work!

 

• Steel represents PA.  I am originally from Klecknersville, PA near Bethlehem Steel aka “The Steel.”  Many of my relatives worked for “The Steel”- a steel producer.

 

 

CRAB  

• CRAB represents MD.  We lived in Annapolis, MD, blue crab central, for many years.  Blue Crabs are really strong, fast, and fleeting, often difficult to catch, sort of like, ideas . . . peering over the side of the pier into the murky water, net in hand . . .where is it, it was just here, now I can’t see it at all, oh, there it is. . . Plus, let’s face it, they are delicious.

 

• My husband, also from the same small town in PA as me, attended the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD.  

 

• As a verb, crab means to scuttle or scurry sideways.  In other words, life isn’t always a clear linear path.  Better put your cross-trainers on!

 

 

INDUSTRIES 

• Refers to the habit of working hard and steadily.  Be industrious!  There is more than one way to make it happen!  Do something!  Create and Celebrate!
