I honor and appreciate my hundreds of clients, bosses, mentors, professors, employees, and students…so many beautiful “shiny happy people”!!! You are all such amazing teachers for me.

And lastly, I wish to acknowledge myself for overcoming considerable obstacles and working diligently for over 20 years to bring this program to the world. I am proud to say that in both the best of times and in the darkest hours, I have kept my heart and mind open. I have learned, and I have improved. If I can do it, so can you. I believe in myself, and I believe in you.
