Greetings Everyone-

The time has come for me to bid you all a fond farewell. Friday will be my last day here at Center Partners. I have accepted a position with Qwest. Though it is difficult to leave, my career must go forward. As human beings we must always do our part to grow and move forward.

Now is my time.

Over the past three years I have been truly amazed at the level of C.P. Pride that all of you carry. This is a great company to work for and I hope all of you take a moment to reflect on how lucky we all are to work for it.

The relationships I have built here are very dear to me. Those relationships will be the hardest things for me to leave behind. You have all changed my life for the better and I will never forget you. The experiences we have make us stronger and every job we have prepares us for the next.

Most goodbyes are followed with individual spotlights. I choose to tell you thanks in person. So many of you have taught me far more than I have taught you, so it is only fair that I say what I need in person. I will be out to see everyone this week and say goodbye. For those that choose to stay in touch we will - I will give you my contact info if you ask.

There's a saying I want to leave you all with. "Teamwork is where ordinary people work together to achieve extra-ordinary results". You guys are the "Extra" that makes me ordinary.

Thanks for bringing out the best in me, this account, and most of all Center Partners.

I cried & cried & cried! I knew it was coming, it's just hard. Very hard! I've loved that man since October 21, 2003, and I will continue to love him, until the day that I die. He means the world to me and I hope he knows it! I've been crying off & on for the past 2 hours and I'm sure I'll do more crying over the next few days. I don't know what it's going to be like to come into work and not see him. It's gonna be very hard knowing I can't just pop over to his desk and say hey. The move to Qwest is what is best for him right now and I wish he could stay. But, it is not what is best for him. And, no matter hurt or the price, we want what's best for each other. And this is what is best for him. I have nearly every one of his emailed saved, both good & bad. I do believe he is my SOULMATE. There's no one else out there on this earth that is meant for me. That I truly believe. I will always believe that.......
