Thank you Miri! You have a beautiful soul and I really appreciate your perspective and passion. It's very encouraging to hear that someone I look up to and follow as one of my inspirations in life started off as the undefeated champion of last place in school! Haha. That part was great. You give me hope and strength, as I'm sure you do for so many in the OT community. So thank you for all the awesome! Much love OT Miri.
