It’s important to appreciate all the people in your life, especially those you came across earlier in your path, even if you’re no longer in contact. I recently pulled the trigger and spammed every person on my friends list on facebook, to see if they would be interested in ‘liking’ my page, and I’ve been overwhelmed with the results. People I’ve met all around the world have shown their support. I guess I want to tell everyone that it’s you who have made this possible by contributing to my development, to my experience thus far. I believe we can all teach each other something, that we can all learn from each other. Maybe I could have learned more, but I know I’ve already learned so much from those who have entered my life.

I urge you to think of those who have had a positive impact on your life, however small. Maybe it was an employee at a grocery store or coffee shop you used to frequent. Maybe it was an old coworker from three companies ago. Maybe it was a high school friend. We always implore others to be grateful for authority figures: previous teachers, firefighters and police officers, community leaders, etc. And those people definitely deserve our recognition and respect. But the ordinary people in our lives do too. I would venture those people, whoever they were in our lives, make an indelible mark on our experience as well. And some of those people in my life have shown their support with TAV. Thank you, I sincerely appreciate it. Let’s keep it going.
