"November 2, 2000, I met TAG, a visionary leader, raconteur par excellence, and spiritual guide. From that day, he has inspired me to do and be the best I can. He is a mentor and friend. It was a beautiful fall day. We sat outside at a bistro for lunch. The one hour meeting lasted all afternoon. Occasionally, a yellow-orange leaf would fall on the table. We talked about our life dreams, our purpose in life, the interconnectedness of all life. It was a spectacular day."
