30/30: And now I’m 30 – Thank You
In case you weren’t counting, I mentioned by name >450 people these last 30 days. My heart is overflowing with gratitude.
Whether you were mentioned or not, I can assure that if we’ve met I probably remember what you were wearing, what we talked about, and I know you shaped me in at least some small way. Thank you for that. You can even ask my assistant – she is constantly astounded at my memory.
For those who know you shaped me in big, powerful ways but aren’t mentioned because of my previous exclusion criteria – thank you too. For better and for worse you helped make me.
The End
30 years down. Hopefully I’ll have 2x 30 more years to go! I can’t imagine the multitude of folks I’ll have to thank by 60. And 90? My goodness!
If we haven’t met yet, but you liked reading these intimate expressions of my gratitude – please reach out on Twitter @melkargi or Linked In. Maybe I’ll write about you in 30 years.
Thank you from the ocean of love in my heart,

Melissa Kargiannakis
