Words fail me.
I’m moved to tears during the first watch of your video. I want to be our friend and give you a big hug. That the emotional connection. I’ve already tweeted from my business and my personal accounts. I want to see what you mean by “Come write a guest blog post”.

Your video has moved me on to another level.
Thank you, from across a sea, a tide of connectivity,
Paul
