Here's video proof that I get WAY too excited sometimes

(I found out that I mispronounced Laurent's name incorrectly AUGH. I'm meeting Laurent for the first time tomorrow. Hopefully he won't have seen this video before he meets me so I can apologize in advance!)

Heh. You are very excited!

Don't worry about mispronouncing Laurent's name. I've been calling you "Oh-high" for all these years and now I've just learnt that it's "Oh-ee"! :-)

Thank you, Shane. :-D

I suspect I may have been pronouncing your last name incorrectly for all these years as well. Still hoping that someday I'll be able to mispronounce it in person - because that means we'll actually have met face-to-face!

I'm working on it! :-)

Debbie, your story is amazing, I just watched the video where Lee interviewed you and it got me all excited too!

Congratulations!

And cheers for that advice of pushing out of comfort zone!!
