Certified!

I just got off the phone with John Friend.
I hung up in tears.
After 4 years.
After more than 10 videos officially submitted.
After so much, today August 21st, 2010, I am officially Certified.
I'm crying tears of joy and gratitude to my evaluators: John Friend, to Tiffany Fraser, to Tanya Bielke and Christy Nones.
Crying tears of gratitude to my friends and family for their support in these 4 years.
Crying tears of gratitude towards all that I learned in this process that tested me and helped me grow.
Namaste.
