Friendship Unwavering – Original Poem

The winter is gone
Fear is no longer
The apocalypse that penetrated the soul strengthened the bond of friendship

In a moment of dire weakness, a power lifted from the trenches of the past and cemented a movement for peace

In this chaos, a calming silence spreads across the sky on leaves of red, orange and yellow

As the morning dew awakens a new season, a reunion of hope is brought once again to light
A unity of unspeakable grace
A pact written in the purity of smiles and forever written in the journal of life

An enemy penetrated our fortified home that thousands of miles could not break and united as one we overcame the beast

It is this moment, now in the dawn of a new day that the sun rises and shines on the faces of humanity
In a warm brush of the canvas, reminds us that friendship is a power greater than mankind

It is the strength of a thousand horses, the whisper of a young child and the smile of a newborn

Time is the physical journey we each must take in our chosen path; yet with each mile, we are closer as one


Life is a Series of Hello’s and Goodbye’s – Thank you Cynthia! Hewitt will miss you!

Today we gave a fond farewell to a manager, leader and most of all, a friend.

As she departs the humble walls of Hewitt for a new challenge, we took time to reflect on the shared memories that carried us through some very life altering changes.  With the backdrop of a new leadership team, a new model and a recession, she took the helm with poise, confidence and even a hint of vulnerability.

In her steps we followed.  It was a path of uncertainty filled with jagged edges and foggy skies but we always had support on our side.

She took chances, gave guidance but most of all let us fall and get up on our own accord.

Her legacy will be different for each one of us.  Some will see her in a professional light while others have a much more personal view of their relationship with her.

Either way, the message was clear, she made a lasting impact on all of us that will carry long after she has walked away from her throne.

A catalyst for change when change needed to be embraced

A warrior in a battle with an unknown enemy

A cheerleader on a team that was ready to step on the field

A mentor for those that didn’t even realize there was so much more to learn

She created a family of thinkers and believers that continue to stretch to new heights.

For that, we thank you.

Thank you Cynthia for taking Hewitt Associates and Sourcing to the next level.

As she walks away, head held up with pride, we continue on carrying her mission with each new day.
