We are on our own from the start,
and our life is a reflection of--
evidence of--
the quality of the company we keep.

We are walking/talking exhibitions
of who has influenced us throughout our life.
We are who we hang with.
From the books we read
to the coffee we drink.

When you look at us,
you see where we have been
and who we have been with.

I am proud of my crew,
which includes all of you!
And I look forward to the rest of the way!

You are the best sounding board I could hope for!
And sounding boards are the most important
addition we can hope for in our life.

Sounding boards are mirrors with a plus.
The plus is reflecting what we say,
enabling us to hear ourselves talking,
and enabling us to correct what we say
to better express what we mean.
That is the kind of help that 
makes it possible for us to 
be who we say we are.

You are helping me find my way along the way!
Where would I be without you???
