Michelle –

You really are amazing.

Not long after I received my ribbons on Saturday night I started thinking, “who am I going to give my ribbon to”…and in an instant Vinnette Allen popped into my mind. I was really excited to walk into the office today and give her the ribbons. She is an amazing woman, full of love and life. She makes such a profound difference in our office and in the world for that matter. She is loving and kind, full of spirit and life. She is our den mother in the office and affectionately known as Mama V.

And as I sat down to acknowledge her for who she is for me and for others…she couldn’t believe what I was doing. Just a few moments earlier she had read the below email sent from her niece…outlining the “Who I am Makes a Difference” movement. She was blown away. She just kept repeating…”I can’t believe this…I can’t believe this is happening.” Only moments before she was reading about this…and there in another it was happening to her out of her love for others.

I knew in my heart that this movement (and make no mistake…it is a movement) is divinely inspired. Mama V makes a difference, this movement makes a difference, YOU make a difference, every single person in this world…MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

So thank you!

Much love!
Tait
