One year ago, today,

I got off an airplane, flying from NY, and was so inspired by the day's events that I went home and was unable to get it out of my head. As I lay in bed that night, it all crystalized into a passion that has consumed me ever since. The next morning, I woke up and posted that I had an idea. Since then, I have bounced that idea off of those close to me and no one has discouraged me yet. It is a harebrained and fanciful concept, yet one that has fueled me for this past year and just thinking about it, has made my life significantly better. It has been met with setbacks, roadblocks, twists and turns. I am convinced, more than ever, that the more things that conspire to derail something, the more important the prize. In every setback, whether financial or otherwise, I have had renewed energy to see it through. I have quit too many things in my life because of obstructions. Not this time. This time it is to make the world a better, kinder place. Bold aspirations, for sure, but just the kind of dreaming that makes getting up in the morning worthwhile. It's coming along, each obstacle falling away, and all of your patience and support has brought me here. Thank you, to each and every one of you, who said, "I'm in!" It gave me the love and support I needed to make this dream a reality. SaGud Things are coming soon!
