Dear Colleagues,
Your posts have moved and inspired me. No doubt that I will reach out to you for help in the very near future! Now is the point of no return, the big dive into making our projects a dream come true. Whether you live in the United States or abroad, today's means of communication support our needs for collaboration and friendship. On my part, I know that I will need your sincere feedback every step of the way. Working with you allowed trust to prevail between us. I feel blessed to have you in my close community of practice and adjourning means starting on a new trail knowing that my friends are not only holding me in their thoughts but are ready to come to my rescue if I called them. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU and talk to you soon.

One
long-term goal
Although
this one long-term goal encompasses the above listed goals since no one goal is
more prevalent than the other, my one long-term goal remains to:
·
Be
an agent of social change.
In
this light, I need to stay connected with my Walden community, continue to
nurture and grow those relationships for children’s benefits.
A few more words from my friends:

Don't forget to "look up"
Much love and see you around!
