Level 9 and humbly thankful
By my calculation, this wasn't supposed to happen til late March/early April. Somehow due to the concentrated efforts of numerous colleagues and special connections, and the final "like" by @Warren Money and @James Milson I just crossed the threshold into the hallowed halls of Level 9. I am truly humbled. This Community has been a significant ingredient in my healing journey from Stage III breast cancer, as many of you know. While I won't make this a Golden Globe speech, there are many folks I do want to call out (and I know I will unfortunately miss a few of you) who have meant so much to me. First - I'd like to send a gift card for carpal tunnel treatment to @James Milson , @Warren Money , and @Jeffrey Plotka . Looking through my activity, it definitely appears you all added like 1,000+ counts in the last few days! I mean what the heck dudes?! B. To the WIPS team and targets: You know who you are. The banter, exchanges and back/forth were so energizing, entertaining and uplifting for me (especially following treatments). Thank you so much. III. @Chad Smith, @Robert Meyers , @DeJuan McGuire , @Warren Money , @Brett Sutton - thank you so much for the guidance, nudging, and sharing of new and interesting brands which drew me in (dropped me into rabbit holes). Monterey, Spinnaker and Erebus have been so instrumental in my horological learning. 4. @Gunny Khan your Daily Motivations, continual words of encouragement and support provide such a welcome air of calm which I look forward to everyday. Next: @Sean Kavanaugh , @William Feldtmose (LT), @G R , @Anthony Buntyn , @Darren Poesel , @Gene Berlin ("enjoy"), @Russell Weber, and @Chris Turton - I always looked forward to seeing your next share and picking up a new brand to explore. You all were right in the top ten to share a positive comment in one of my shares.
