Danielle-Sweetie Pie

You have so many qualities that I see now that you are a grown woman. You are stronger than you ever gave yourself credit for. We see how you have emerged as a great leader on your job, you handle crisis very well. You take charge when no one else comes forward to take the task and you can calm an unruly crowd. Where and when did this all happen? As a little girl you were so sweet and shy. Sometimes you ran away from opposition. You didn't like confrontations and you became a peacemaker to all who were troubled. You always were a great listener, now you have "alot to say". I remember when you were growing up and started with your "marathon" conversations with dad. He would gently say "Danielle, go talk to your mirror". Not because he wasn't interested, but because you would get to the point, then repeat it over and over again. There was a time in Middle School, we were at a teachers conference when he told us how you would be sitting around the desk in the classroom with three other children. The other children would be leaning their heads in their hands listening intently to what you had to say as you went on and on telling a story. You would be getting your work done as you were talking, the only problem was that the others were not doing their work because they were consentrating on what you had to say. Well I guess that was a good thing, because now you have become a wonderful communicator. You are very perceptive of people and their personalities. I love the way you know how to say a comforting word when it is needed. Use these talents God has blessed you with. There are many people out there in need of a kind encouraging word. Love Mom
