I know there are a lot of people out there that don’t really like Martha Stewart whether they’ve known her personally or not. I have not had the chance to ever meet her, but I can say that I have been a huge fan of hers since I was about 14 years old, so abut 7 years.
I always figured that she was a very private person when it came to her personal life. I remember seeing headlines on tabloid magazines but never really paid much attention to them (as with most celebrities really). But it was really nice to be able to read this book and take a deeper look into her life.
She is clearly a strong individual with a vision to help people through teaching beauty and appreciating things in life. She is a perfectionist, but one quote in the book made it clear that she does not think she herself is perfect.
I loved all the anecdotes from friends and family, especially her daughter, Alexis. She points out that people try to bring her down because they probably can’t stand seeing a woman in such a powerful position. It is so true too. Just because she is powerful, smart, knows what she is doing, and has spent her whole life building this empire for herself automatically makes her a bad person and automatically means that she should be made to look bad in the public eye.
I still can’t say that I know her personally, but I have more of an understanding from the people that love her and stick by her and would deinfitely jump at a chance to meet her. I will always stand as a loyal fan to her, and continue to admire her work and legacy.
No one is perfect, we are all human..
