A Job Well-Done

One thing I don’t talk about much here is that for the last seven years or so, I have been a sexual assault and domestic violence survivor advocate and activist. No matter what job I have, I take my passion for the work and the skills that I have with me, and every job seems like an opportunity to do more work around these issues.

Right now, I’m working on creating a pamphlet of sexual assault survivors for the university campus I’m working at. I asked the younger sister of a close friend if she’s do some artwork for me, and she agreed. This morning she sent me an email with the following aside,

I read over the pamphlet to get an idea of its content and actually learned a lot, hahaha, so I must say you are very good at what you do if this was part of the job.

And it is part of my job, because I showed up and made it part of my job. And that is a wonderful feeling.

Review coming this afternoon. It's been a busy morning.
