    A big thank you to all the support from EC

    It's with great pleasure I tell you all. My closet is officially empty, I'm out to everyone who matters

    And guess what, the response has been great!!!

    Peace and love

    Hooray!

    I've still got a few friends left to tell. They know I'm on the road to divorce but they don't know why. I just haven't got the courage yet or the need to tell them.

    Anyway, I've already told the people that were the most difficult. Me and then my wife. Me was the toughest fer shure.

    Congratulations!

    Well my younger brother you once again inspired me and remind me what an amazing soul you have. Your story was one of the major hooks that got me to sign up for e.c. In the first place. And you've been there right alongside me all the way. It's a privilege to call you family sir. So a huge hug of congrats to you on this massive week in your life and cheers to many more to come.

    Rick
