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:
This week, I am recognizing
- Michelle Price
- Love Gossett

Michelle Price – I want to recognize Michelle for her phenomenal work in Suicide Prevention. She is highly respected and valued within the local communities, Suicide Prevention Coalitions, and at the state level. Her knowledge, skills, and passion are why she is considered a Subject Matter Expert (SME).
Due to her positive energy, she is a gifted facilitator, regardless of the topic. Even though she might not admit it, she is a great mother and mentor. Last but certainly not least, she is the meme Queen. You miss countless opportunities to laugh at her ingenuity if you’re not following her on social media. I am honored to be her coworker and friend.
Love Gossett – I want to recognize Love for her commitment to excellence and helping change lives. Her MSW | LSW career doesn’t require validation or recognition. Yet, it is the main reason why I respect her so much. Her ability to see the good in every situation is why she can develop rapport with everyone she interacts with in her personal and professional life.
She is an advocate for change, human rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. I enjoyed collaborating with her on several projects, including organizing the Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) 5k run / walk 2017 and 2018 events.

Her beautiful family is just as impressive. I’m honored to have worked with her in the military for 10+ years. More importantly, I’m extremely lucky to call her my friend. I can’t wait to see what she will do next.

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.
