Dear Dickinson class, my family surprised me with a last minute trip to New Zealand for my birthday and I’m writing you from Queenstown. It’s my sincere regret that I won’t be at graduation with all of you, but in my absence I wanted to share just how much each of you has meant to me over the past 12 months.

Rand, I appreciate you taking a chance on me and allowing me to stay in the course even though I was no longer with Whole Foods. I will continue hear and use your words of wisdom through my next adventures and beyond.

Maryellen, I am so grateful to have you as a coach, but also a friend. I looked forward to our weekly calls that sometimes wondered into therapy-lite. And I’m going to miss having you in my corner. You are the best!!

Classmates, I was energized by your strength and have learned so much from all of you. Our weekly calls, classes, and breakout sessions were invaluable and I can’t thank you enough for the support I’ve received.

I wish you all well and hope we can stay in touch one way or another.

With warm regards from down under,

Brooke
