I received the Open Arms Award this weekend which is one of four special, annual awards given by the chorus. It was such a lovely moment and then members kept giving me hugs and congratulations throughout the weekend. I'm feeling so loved!
And it reminded me to note this other instance of Skyline love from a couple years ago when I felt so touched.
I received this note from my chorus director regarding the Joy award:
The Joy award is given from me to the singer in Skyline who exhibits Joy, and shares Joy.This year's recipient manifests joy all the time. She leads from the risers, and always has a joyful smile and greeting. She sings with joy and seeks harmony while always looking for the good in others. Her positive and gentle spirit wraps the chorus in love. She is keenly observant of the many often unseen contributions that make our Skyline village successful, and is quick to express sincere gratitude for these efforts. This years award goes to Rachel Miner.Vickie MInternational Speaker, Coach, & AuthorMaster Director 700, Skyline ChorusSweet Adelines International Board of DirectorsJudge Specialist, Expression CategoryCertified Expression JudgeCertified International Faculty
Now these warm fuzzies hang out next to each other ready to bring me a smile each morning 💖
