Dear Sue,
You are an amazing gift of blessing to the world and in a special way to the entire spiritual direction community.

Your gift of gathering, holding, and honoring the many needs of our International conferences over the years has been a blessing.  Your listening ear, your light-hearted presence, and just who you are has helped the entire SDI community become what it is in so many ways.

Thank you!  You are a part of many beautiful memories.  May your heart be light as you dance into the today and tomorrow of your life's journey.  May the Spirit of love, blessing, and light surround you and may you always know how much you are loved and appreciated by all those who know you!

With a heart filled with Gratitude and Love,

Carol

Dear Sue,  I was at the 2010 SDI Conference in San Francisco.  Your calm and comprehensive skill in handling such multiple tasking was an inspiration to me.  I loved it that you enjoyed it and knew that you enjoyed it.  We are the grateful recipients.  I send you blessings as you move to the next phase of your courageous, humor-filled, efficiently active, and contemplatively listening way of living.

I attended the SDI conference for the first time in San Francisco and was delighted to feel such warmth and welcome. It takes so much time, skill and work to produce an event like this and it was obvious that you had worked hard behind the scenes. Thank you for giving yourself so willingly, for using your skills and talents for our benefit. You will be missed.

I first met you in 2003 when SDI held the conference in Toronto (the year of SARS). I was recruited to serve on a local committee and on several occasions made contact with you. I quickly learned that you were a "dynamite" (energetic, efficient, funny and more). You remembered my name in all the following years when I attended the annual conferences. I looked forward to seeing you year after year. You are unforgettable. I will remember you whenever I recall my years of connecting with SDI. Thank you for being you. God's richest blessing as you move forward.

Sue, I can't believe you are stepping down.  I can't imagine a SDI conference without you.  You've been there since I started attending in Miami many years ago, and you've done a fabulous job juggling so many things.
