What stood out for me on Saturday is how relaxed I felt with just a tiny bit of nerves.
There were times when I was able to stand back and take it all in and times when I was actively engaged with our team demos, being in the moment.
Delivering a speech in front of 200+ people is a first for me and a moment I will remember with pride.
And being presented with the attendance award was surprising and a great feel good moment.
Tying that black belt around my waist was just the start of the next phase of my journey. It's interesting because once that belt was tied around my waist we became one and the same. I barely noticed it afterwards and yet I simply need to look at it around my waist to remind myself of how far I've traveled and the journey to come. An anchor to help keep me mindful, aware and present.
There will forever be fond memories of all the hugs and congratulations (we need more hugs on a regular basis).
The tradition of sledding at the end of the night was a fun finish and it was great to see the number of sledders growing in size.
Thank you to everyone that helped to make this day a success. I am grateful and appreciate the time and efforts that contributed to another amazing Chinese New Year Banquet.
I couldn't have asked for a better and more complete day!

Congratulations!! So well deserved, and so very proud to stand beside you. You amazed me with your speech, I wish I could have had half the poise you did. Heartwarming, and inspiring. I look forward to the journey ahead of us together, as a team, as a family. And I agree, more hugs!! 💜
