Pure Pride

I try not to use this blog to discuss anything other than sewing. When I stray away from patterns and notions, the topic is something very important to me. Please indulge a proud mother and I will pray to be forgiven of the sin of pride.

My daughter conceived and organized the first Employee Appreciation Week at the University of Virginia earlier this month. She told me about her plan last Fall and she worked hard for months to make it happen. According to her report and the article in the Cavalier Daily, the week was a great success and the employees appreciated being appreciated! Like most young adults, my daughter is still learning about herself and makes the requisite missteps, but when she is inspired, she really shines.

  3. Good for her! This kind of thing is important.
    We have an appreciation day here... and it's barely appreciative. Maybe she could cross the mountains and fix it.
