Thankful Thursday!

A few weeks ago when we were in Charlottesville, I was thankful for the opportunity to visit The Kindness Cafe + Play near the Grounds at UVA.

That day, there was a reporter from NBC Channel 29 (the station I interned with when I was a UVA student!) showcasing this very special place.

We will always try to make time for a visit when we are in Cville. Their mission to provide meaningful employment for adults with cognitive disabilities in a joyful inclusive community space is something I'm thankful for!

It's National Dog Day!

Sullivan is my best boy and loves him Mama!

He sneaks in a nap as he waits patiently for me to get ready for work in the morning.

He sits across from my desk in my office at home.

And when I walk him after work, he reminds me that sometimes you just need to lay down in the green grass and catch you breath.

With yields on long-term Treasuries rising, the Treasury Department has decided to intervene. But markets do not appear stressed by rising yields, so a key question is, why now?

Wishing our summer intern, Evan, all the best as he starts his 2nd year of classes at the University of Virginia today!

His administrative support was greatly appreciated, but I also genuinely valued the perspective and insights he shared about my business, our office, and the industry. Asking thoughtful questions, embracing challenges – he made a meaningful contribution in a relatively short time.

Whether his path leads back to Morgan Stanley or in another direction, I'm grateful for the opportunity we've had to work together this summer. And, I'm also incredibly proud to be his Mom... Congratulations, Evan, on your successful internship and I cannot wait to see where your journey takes you!
