Hey everyone. I just wanted to tell someone what happened to me today. I am having some medical problems and I had a show tonight. Needless to say I could not do it. I did not even want to get off the couch. My director stepped up and did my show for me. She gave me the show, bookings and recruit leads. How GREAT is she!! I hope that soon I am half the director she is. I just wanted to brag on her for a while. I am so thankful for her. :D
 
That is awesome. I hope my director would do the same thing.

Hope you are feeling better soon!
 
That is so cool!:cool: Make sure you let her know how much you appreciate her! Not all directors would be that generous and non-selfish! Congrats on having a great director!:D

I did tell her but maybe someone out there has some kind of idea of something I can get her as a thank you gift, but I really do not have much money?!?!?!
 
Not giving up and doing your best will be all the gift your director will need. This business is about relationships and helping others. When you succeed and promote you will have a nice paycheck. Buy her flowers then and thank her for the help and the love.

I hope you feel better soon!
 
Send her a nice thank you card. You would be surprised at how far a thank you card goes. Write a personal note thanking her for all the things she does that make her a great director.

That was a great thing for her to do. May you feel better soon.

I second what Elaine said!!
 
That is such a great thing for her to do! I love how people are willing to pitch in and help out!
