Perhaps it’s time, I muse, to close those chapters and remember the enduring lesson of my entrapment: that relationships, not accomplishments, are what’s important in life.

I kind of entered a flow state. I've been there before while climbing. You are not thinking ahead. You are just thinking about what is in front of you each second.

May your boulders be your blessings. May you be able to embrace them. And may you find what's extraordinary in yourself.

Saying farewell is also a bold and powerful beginning.

Bring love and peace and happiness and beautiful lives into the world in my honor. Thank you. Love you.

Adversity is the source of our deepest growth and greatest blessings; embrace it, dare to seek it.

When we find inspiration, we need to take action for ourselves and for our communities. Even if it means making a hard choice, or cutting out something and leaving it in your past.
