Great idea to contact the women. Curious, were they all local to Phoenix, or all over the country? Either way it's a smart move in so many ways. It's great not only for both ends of your mentoring relationship, but for all who reap the benefits of the work you do. Kudos. One day you will be on that list receiving notes from women like you. :) A moderate quilt, possibly hanging style, with African fabrics, or possibly an African proverb written on it, one relative to your relationship.

Phenomenal!! I am so glad that it has paid off for you -- new friends, connections, and shared interests. Can't get better than that! What a fantastic idea you had to reach out to these women!

Some day it will be you getting such a letter, recognizing your place in the top 100. What a great idea to network in a genuine and friendly way.

Not only does it show your appreciation of their hard work but also demonstrates to them that there are people who understand what it all means and are kind enough to let them know it's valued. Such a grace note on your part, Kelli. The little mouse pouch is adorable and I'm sure she'll love it. As for "E", maybe you could make her a document pouch (like in Amy Butler's In Stitches book) to hold important papers for a meeting.

When women reach a certain position with their hard work, usually they are inclined to help other women reach their own goals, especially in the charity and civil fields. And who's better intitled to get help than you? I guess they saw in you true loving tendency to others, so why not? P.S. another pouch with some african fabric? This is a sort of sisterhood, right?
