It’s a wrap

It’s been quite a week. Quite a month, in fact, tying up loose ends at work, enjoying the Holidays, and mentally preparing for what lies ahead. I found myself thinking a lot about the many challenges faced in my career, the grind that it became at times, but also how fortunate I have been.

I benefited in my career from almost every advantage one could have – where and even when I was born, the language spoken in our household, the nation in which I was raised, the education I was provided, the many opportunities given to me over the years to be of value to others, the good health to be able to pursue those opportunities, access to the world’s best tools and resources for my profession, the tolerance and support of family, friends, coworkers and clients, the list is almost endless.

And then, as if that weren’t enough, some of you have seen fit the last few weeks to bless me with some very kind comments, good wishes for my future, and even some accolades. It’s almost like being at my own wake, but I get to hear what everyone is saying. In fact, it’s better than that – I get to hear only the good stuff!

I know that these kind statements reflect your goodness as much as my achievements, but it has been wonderful to hear. There is no greater legacy for me than to have positively influenced the lives of others. Hopefully, I was able to do that for you.

I wish you the very best in the coming year and beyond. I’ll be thinking of you. Take care. Bye-bye.
