Inspiration of the week

This week I was blessed enough to have three great inspirational events happen to me.

First off, a delightful sister from Northwest was at Jewell to interview for the nursing program and learn more about Jewell.  She is considering transferring to Jewell in the Fall because we have Alpha Delta Pi, her home.  She did not care that we were not the chapter she had signed a bid card with, she did not care she might be in a house full of women she had never bonded with.  All she said was it is going to be different but it is all ADPi right? Her love and devotion to our organization made my day and week.  She reminded me that regardless of everything occurring within the chapter, we are working for something much larger than ourselves.  

Second, I had two people in the same day tell me they think I am doing a good job in my office.  This was the first time I had heard this from someone other than my roommate or suite mates.  It was nice to have the affirmation from two women I respect a lot, a recent Alpha Delta Pi alumna and our Greek Advisor on campus.

Third, at my Career Mentorship on Thursday I picked up a magazine while waiting and read the letter from the Editor.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that even though she was the Editor of a women's magazine, she spoke of empowering the woman.  She spoke about her trials and tribulations and how they have shaped her into the woman she is today.  Her struggles pushed her to do a man's job and encouraged other women to do the same until there is no longer a job designated as a "man's job".  

There is inspiration to be found in the littlest of things in the world... it is only a matter of finding them.
