On a personal note, I celebrate my daughter Alyssa who was inducted into the Hall of Honor for Field Hockey at Eastern Mennonite University. Most of our family enjoyed sharing in the festivities with Alyssa and her family in Virginia last month.
As one of the most decorated in the college’s history, I am most proud of Alyssa’s commitment to her team, to continuous personal improvement, and to giving 150% while overcoming major health obstacles. This GRIT has contributed to her whole-hearted character as she continues to teach me about parenting, leadership, and life. #ProudMama (and #ProudGiGi).
What are YOU celebrating these days?
Here's to your ongoing flourishing!
-Sally Derstine, Managing Partner
