Grant me the serenity
There are a lot of really satisfying feelings in the world (like New Orleans rain, down comforters and socks on hardwood), but one particularly great one, I’ve discovered this morning, is compiling this glossary of grants for Summer Advantage (http://www.summeradvantage.org), and watching the document turn from a sloppy mosaic of RFPs and numbers and mission statements into a purposeful business tool. There’s a team of 5 people older than me that I’m leading and a forest of grants and terms that we’re still all learning about. I never thought I’d say that I’m taking immense pride in a Microsoft Excel document, but 8 hours later, I admit that I’m beaming with maternal love and admiration.
