I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your incredible school of warriors that is such a Bright Beacon of Light on this planet.  I have and continue to benefit greatly from!

Thank you for teaching and showing me that I can indeed be strong, and strong in all the ways, mind, body, and spirit.

Thank you for believing in me even when I fail to believe in myself.

Thank you for lifting me back when I fall down.

Thank you for much needed to hear lectures such as the “Drag yourself to class no matter what” lecture!  That I always need greatly to hear.

Thank you for being good to us women.

Thank you the sweet twinkle in you eyes as you engage with the lovely karate children.
