My Biggest “Win”

Looking back at 2009, I’m grateful for all the blessings God provided me. I finished my MBA, bought a new house, but most importantly, found the love of my life. My problem is, and always has been, not acknowledging the blessings when they happen. Many times I get so consumed in finishing deadlines and personal goals that I forget to step back and simply enjoy what I have.  In business, it is called celebrating the wins.  So today, I’m acknowledging my biggest “win” – Ms. Laura Leveque.

Not only is Laura beautiful and intelligent, she is also the most positive, gentle, and kind person I know. And while I get wrapped up in tireless projects and individual goals, I often forget that I wouldn’t be able to complete anything without her. My relationship with Laura is my biggest task and I will not lose sight of that. She is everything to me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her.

I love you Laura Leveque!
