I have trouble placing trust in the unseen or the unknown. I like to be in control of all details, and I have the spreadsheets and back-files to prove that. I take comfort in lists- the adding of tasks, the crossing off of that which is finished, the logging of progress. My job here at Keystone Hope Special Needs Foundation gives me the chance to be in control of nearly all of the day-to-day tasks – from vendor management to board recruitment, from answering the phones to nearly all of the public relations projects. So, when our new board convened as a big group for the first time last week, I had no choice but to sit back and let the chips fall where they might. I wouldn’t have control beyond organizing the agenda for the attendees. It was stressful for me, but I shouldn’t have worried.
To the people we’ll help this year.
