To Jeremy’s blog point, and a Bunko lesson, Leave an Imprint is far more important and 2nd place in this case may be more about the truly leaving an imprint. Ed is leading a very important passion point…. and will hopefully be impacting more than a plane ride to Oxford…Hope many will join Ed’s cause – Gratitude is truly the Transformative element we all need in these very challenging times….
