Thank You

The other day I went to a presentation by a group of people recruiting for a cause in which they deeply believed and by which they were profoundly moved to action. They had a strong and almost palpable love for the work they were doing and knew without a doubt that they were making a difference. They said they were certain that their goal would one day be reached. As proof of the progress their program was making, they shared some of their success stories, the people they had inspired to follow their dream. I have to say, that in the final words of the presentation, I was almost moved to tears because I saw their dreams. I saw the dreams of the people giving the presentation and I saw the dreams of the people they had inspired, and they were beautiful. The dreams were beautiful. I felt compelled to support the cause


It was after I had left the presentation that I thought of how the people described in the presentation were similar to me. I was able to take a moment to appreciate the people I have who believe in me. I suddenly understood how they could believe in my bright future, how they could express so vehemently that such a bright future existed for me. I have a dream, and I have been lucky and blessed enough to have people who have glimpsed my dream, people who, with just a glimpse, can have the courage to trust and believe in me, to provide their unwavering support.


So I come to the point of this blog post, to declare its existence as a thank you note. Thank you for believing me, and with your belief, inspiring me. I don't know how I earned your support, but I am so glad I did and that you were kind enough to give it. Thank you for standing behind me, for keeping me from falling. I love you.
