I created this weekly tradition to help me develop an attitude of gratitude by recognizing two people from my personal or professional life. These weekly posts are about celebrating them and their story.
This week, I am recognizing
- Michelle Kirtos
- Elaine Miller
Michelle Kirtos – I want to recognize Michelle for her 20+ years of military service and recent promotion to Master Sergeant (MSG). For those unaware, this rank is difficult to obtain in the United States Army. The enlisted promotion system is designed to promote the “best of the best.”
I have personally known her for over 10 years, and I have to admit, she is the most knowledgeable Personal Management Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) I’ve ever been around. I can’t think of a time when she couldn’t answer one of my questions. (I asked a lot) Some people use Google as a search engine; I used Michelle Kirtos. She is a great leader, mentor, and friend. I’m honored to have served with her, and I look forward to seeing her succeed at her next duty assignment.
Elaine Miller – I want to recognize Elaine for her extraordinary work as a Community Engagement Coordinator with the Connections Volunteer Center. She helps coordinate the referral and placement of volunteers for hundreds of ongoing and special event opportunities in Delaware County. Her passion, commitment to excellence, and desire to help people are second to none. I often seek her personal and professional guidance about effectively engaging with community members and partners since she has established a great reputation within the county. She is a great leader, mother, communicator, and friend.
Additionally, she operates a fantastic company called A Pretty Bramble. Her company creates custom-made clothing for all, made with advocacy in mind. I highly recommend checking out her Facebook page: A Pretty Bramble.

Identify 1-2 people you would like to recognize in your life. You don’t need to do this publicly. It can be a simple face-to-face conversation, a phone call, a text, or even an email.
You would be surprised how meaningful a simple “Hey Ashley, I appreciate you” conversation can be for people.
Thank you for taking a moment out of your busy day to help celebrate these individuals. Please feel free to share this post with friends and family. You can also click the following button.
