What's the last time you felt proud of your accomplishments? What was it?
September 25, 2024 | Sparkle Wednesday
There's nothing like feeling proud of an accomplishment, that feeling of checking something off your list, and maybe even being surprised that you were able to do it in the first place. It’s rewarding and feels good.
We recently became a B Corp-certified company—one of 42 businesses in Minnesota. It was a lot of work, and a dedicated team member at ArcStone helped David and me along the way. Thanks, Bria!
To achieve the 80+ points we needed to get our certification (we ended up with 84.9), we became a General Benefits Corp, updated our handbook a lot, began tracking our volunteer hours, established a “buy local” policy, and much, much more. It took time, patience, and commitment.
This video offers a good overview if you're unfamiliar with the B Corp Movement. Although it's a few years old, it still hits the high points.
I’m proud of this accomplishment! We did it! Woo-hoo!
What about your? What's the last time you felt proud of your accomplishments? What was it?
An accomplishment of yours I do remember is when you performed Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz (at the Chimera Theatre in the Twin Cities): you auditioned, were selected, and played the main role —that made everyone in your family very proud. So was I.
To achieve something also makes us grateful for the chance given to do, the help from others and to others, the joy of loved ones…
Congratulations once again, Lisa!
Well done. This is important work. 💜
I enjoy this question. I used to see the word achievement differently. Now I look for it in seemingly normal events where I know I’ve made a choice that could alter events no matter how seemingly small. So, my last achievement I’m proud of was observing and then advocating, for letting an over grown half dead flower bush be instead of cutting it down for winter. Why? Bees are still coming to the full flowers for nourishment and monarchs stop by on their way south. I check on my bees daily, and when they are finished using this plant, then I will ready it for winter.
