When Thanks Is Not Enough

To an amazing team.... You know who you are.

I got home this evening and reflected on today and each of the days over
the past 2 years and realized just how fortunate I have been to have
been able to work with a team of such passionate and talented
individuals. Each one of you has touched my life in a dramatic,
profound and lasting way.

The beautiful gifts, the amazing team photo, julie's care package, the
wine, the cards and Erin's amazing poem were all way too much on top of
the joy each of you has brought to my life. I got home and read Erin's
poem to Ben and he and I cried together. He said " daddy they love you"
and I replied that love is what makes a group of people a team.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The words are not enough but they come with an enormous amount of love
and admiration. They come from one member of the SR and C family who is
better off for having spent time with each and every one of you!!!

Mike

The Best Part of Travel Is Coming Home

Returning home after being away for a while is perhaps one of the single greatest feelings one can get. I was in Ottawa for a week participating in great conferences and also looking for new opportunities for the future. It was a week filled with high points and has given me even greater optimism that my recent decision to launch Mike Randall Communications is the right one. Great week and very worthwhile, but there was nothing like the feeling when I arrived home on Friday night and sunk into my own bed. It's everything good and safe. that's what your home should be.

Last night we took Max to a Kennel to enjoy yet another great night of food and friends. Okay place, but no love and care like he gets at home. The reaction when we picked him up today was like a giant sigh of relief. Now he's lying in the hallway - not wanting to ever move from his home, his safety net.

I guess that sometimes its important to go away so you know how good it is at home.
