What a great way to start my day!

Humbled. Amazed! Grateful! Beyond surprised!

This morning I was greeted with the notification that

I have achieved Ambassador status! What a wonderful way to start the day! Humbled doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling right now! It's certainly not anything that I ever expected to achieve. Heck it wasn't even something I was working toward.

I've just been doing my thing and having a great time since I became a part of this incredible community.

To have been so warmly welcomed and received, let alone rewarded in such a short time within this platform is such an incredible feeling.

No great achievement happens in isolation. The only reason this has happened is because of you. For all who have read my silly musings, left a comment or challenged me to think and dream bigger, THANK YOU! To all who have believed in me when I haven't believed in myself, thank you! To those who follow what I'm doing thanks so much for sharing this amazing journey with me. I have no idea where it will lead us, but I know it will be incredible! I love to hear about the success you're having and the milestones your reaching. Cheering your success is one of the best parts of my day!

There are a few people who absolutely are an integral part of making this happen. Mark (ExpatMark), kicked me in the butt and lit a fire under me when I wrote 'Oz', way back in September, some 100+ posts ago. Joe946, our pilot for this adventure, is here every day with his warm words of encouragement. Everybody's favorite squirrel, Heidi and I started with WA about the same time. I couldn't ask for a better running buddy! Darren, Jeff, Tim, Mark, JoJo, Twak, TonyJS, Jim K, Uncle Meanie, Fleeky, your kind words with every post mean more than you know!! Dale 123, Nathaniell, Roope, and Jerry Huang, the examples you've set and the skills you share allow even me to follow in your footsteps.

But none of this for any of us happens without Kyle, Carson and their amazing crew. Thank you guys - and gals - for giving us a world where we can dream again - and not just dream but dream bigger. How ironic that was the post I published in the wee hours this morning. Not only are we able to dream bigger in this amazing world of WA, but to achieve bigger, and to make a bigger impact in our worlds that we ever thought possible.

And what a wonderful world we live in within WA!

Thank you for starting my day off in such an extraordinary way. I am truly amazed. I don't know how long it will last, but I am going to enjoy the ride and try very hard to live up to the examples and expectations.

I don't know where this amazing adventure will take me, but I am so very grateful to be a part of such an incredible community of friends literally all over the world. You make my days brighter and our tasks so much lighter.

Thank you all for sharing your time, hearts and journey with me! My world is made so much better because you're part of it!
