And it's not just about the travelling, it's about the time too. Wedge has given up a great deal of personal time, including weekends and holidays from work, in order to maintain our hectic training schedule – and he's never once let anyone down. On top of that (and he'd never say this himself!) his feedback is always excellent and many of our training requests come from recommendations and word of mouth – a true testament to how well his sessions are always received.<BR/><BR/>That's why I get so upset when someone might ask me: 'Why isn't Wedge around?' just because he hasn't been seen on the message board for two days. Our message board is very important to us, and in some ways is the heart of our community, but it's only a very small part of what we do at FirstSigns. If Wedge isn't seen on the message board, it's because he's busy training, writing, organising, web designing, producing, creating and developing FirstSigns – and that's on top of his real working and personal life (yes, we do have real lives too!)<BR/><BR/>If it weren't for Wedge's selfless dedication and extreme hard work, FirstSigns wouldn't exist. And don't forget, prior to FirstSigns we were LifSIGNS – so it's been seven years of non-stop work for Wedge.<BR/><BR/>I sincerely hope he does ease back on training over the winter and takes some well overdue time to think about himself for once.<BR/><BR/>JulesJuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14826324697887110031noreply@blogger.com
