Oh Mike—such a moving story. 🫶🏽😢…ugh you made me feel your disappointment and yet the triumph from all that hard work was wonderful to read and experience with you! Awesome writing!

Recently I didn’t make “The list”—in another aspect of life, but nonetheless—painful. Thanks for reminding me it can lead us to other roads that we are also grateful for.

I think you’re an amazing coach who is sympathetic to those not making the list—they’ll appreciate and know you meant nothing personal by it and will try harder next time, perhaps.

Enjoyed your story a lot! Keep well! 💗
