a heartfelt thank you
last month i received the most beautiful orchid plant as well wishes from a very special client. this came as a total surprise and was such a special gift and while the clients who sent it will probably never see this post since they aren’t web savvy, i want the rest of the world to know how thankful i am for their care in my life. they have been a big part of my life for almost a decade and have instilled wisdom, inspired, and generally kept me on a stong path. they taught me daily about what integrity means and how to always strive to do a job to the best of my abilities. i am blessed because of them. they have been like family and i hold them deep in my heart. take a minute to note thankfulness in your heart. then express it in ways it can be heard. we will all be in a better place for just those small words…thank you!

Your orchid is beautiful!! While I know the people you are speaking of so fondly, I truly hope that you share your post with them. You speak and write eloquently, yet it’s very important that they know how you feel. The words “thank you” (as well as other affirming words) are important to hear and to speak, yet it’s even more important that poeple know what an impact they have on others. I will remember to speak my expressions in ways that can be heard by others. Thanks! for the reminder. You are a good, smart, wise for your years, and a caring, relational lady!
