American Made Foundation Essay #4 "The Power of Grit and Resilience"

Maureen Steele kicks off the new year with a brilliant essay on the power of grit and resilience. Inspired by reuniting with old friends, she crafts a story that touches the soul, using vivid language and masterful brevity to connect us all to the shared human experience.
Once again, she proves her ability to paint with words, offering a moving reflection on resilience that speaks to every heart. I’m proud to present this to you.
Maureen’s work is also featured in Boston Broadside, and Pete Santilli frequently showcases her pieces. You’ll also find her essays on American Made Substack and soon on the American Made Foundation website. She’ll be compiling her essays from the year into a book—stay tuned for that, as it promises to be a masterclass in the art of the written word.
