It’s been a mind-blowing nine days. It’s fast coming to a close. I have an afternoon left. An afternoon full of sensory overload — all relating to cheese!

Four hours. Just four hours. The people at VIAC have been great to our group. The kind of “great” that imparts you knowing your life has been forever changed in a positive way by knowing these people, by the immersion in this kind of program. And let’s not forget, by being in Vermont.

Networking aside, I’ve gotten so much out of this. I know what direction I’m headed. I know how I’m going to get there. The once squishy ground is now firm. I’m running. Actually, I feel like I’m flying. So, I’m still working out the city thing, stay in Rochester, NY or move to Baltimore, MD, but even that is slowly coming into focus.

Thank you Mantse, Jody, Paul, Nevelle, Brian and DJ. I look forward to when our paths cross again.
