uplift those you might ignore

This post goes out to Dot Pineiro, to Laura Rodriguez, to Jess Plante, to Jay Mejia, to Jay Caplan, to Amy Sittnick: some of the administrative professionals I’ve known and adored at Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center … as I’m writing this, I realize that Lindsay Smagula probably also needs credit for being on the admin team at JGCC, but she’s been in the work so long that I think of her as leadership!Bottom line, this post goes out to every human whose work is so smooth it’s easy to ignore.(Shout out to Jessica & Lindsay & Tory at stile by per lei boutique in Ardmore, PA: I hope you’ve gotten your fancy beverages from your boss!)Invitation: Notice someone who makes your life easier or more beautiful today and go out of your way to NOT ignore them. Whether that means presenting a flower you pluck from the grass (dandelions=heaven) or giving a big tip and a smiling thank you: trust your intuition, gulp back your shyness, and shine a little love today. We all need it.photo credit to Laura Kozlowski, who took this pic at a recent JGCC fundraiser where I got to play the ignorable (but fun) role of pointing out the proper door to enter at the Andover Country Club.Monday Morning Muse is a reader-supported publication.
