Tonight's blog is dedicated to three wonderful people without whom I would not have made it through this boot camp. I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the three of you. Big Z, his Mom, and Tina from New York this blog is dedicated to you.
I am not trying to imply that other people did not help me make it through this boot camp. There were many others and certainly I owe a debt of gratitude to each and every one of them. My wife is at the head of the list. She has had to make many sacrifices so that I could participate in this boot camp. Hopefully, I will find a suitable way to thank all of them but to night I am going to concentrate on Big Z, his Mom, and Tina From New York.
Jacki keeps saying I am a man of few words--I don't believe it, but to night I don't have the words to express how important each of you is to me. Tonight on the call, several times I had tears too. We have come through the thick and the thin, we have developed a relationship and we are better for it. The end of boot camp does not mark the end of the relationship, it marks only one step in the beginning of it. This relationship will move forward with us. I am going to continue working with NPOs and I will continue blogging but I need your continued support. You are a part of my business, you are a part of my life, you are a part of me.
As I said on the call tonight, you all are members of this boot camp, and when this class graduates tomorrow you will be members of the graduating class just as much as I am. I am inviting you to continue on with me, my victories will be your victories, and at those times when I don't view the outcome as victorious immediately, it won't be victorious for you immediately either. In either case we go forward together.
You have been here for me in my times of need. I was serious when I said on the call that I am making a commitment to be here for you at any time you wish. Just let me know. I will blog, I will email, I will call. In fact I think it might be a good idea to get together on the phone once in a while. Calls are no charge for me so I will be happy to make the call but I need a number.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are in my prayers daily,
Tom~{}~

Dear Tom,
Thank you.
Reading your post for the second time today, after only having a moment to give it a cursory glance this a.m. Wow. You've given me goosies on my scalp (that doesn't happen often) and tears to my eyes. You can tell it by the look on your face, and I heard it from Ginny's comments after meeting you, and through Laura's words to her previous to this: You are a wonderful man with a tender heart.
Anyone who has a chance to know you is rich indeed. We are richer for knowing you.
We'll still be here . . . You can bet on it ;-).
Thank you, and may your new tomorrow catapult you into NPO Nirvana . . . A fertile ground for your heart's gifts to sprout forth young tentrils that become strong, supple and living examples of your depth, compassion, and your love for all living beings.
We'll be honored to call on you, Tom.
Have a most delicious day, savoring your reflections and your intentions for your bright tomorrows. And, enjoy your now moments of today ;-).
