More often than what you're suggesting, I find people are surprised that I have an urban side to me.

I was always told I was special. And I was also assured that I had a gift and a purpose.

Everything I've done has been personally fun, important, and meaningful to me.

I did a lot of hiking and I loved it.

It's funny, though, because when I first started going to races after we met, I was extremely nervous. It's like being backstage and hoping you don't trip over something or break an amp or accidentally speak into a live microphone, so I was really hesitant.

Yeah, I've had the privilege to know a lot of really talented people.

Daily meditation keeps me sane. I memorize prayers or poems that express my highest spiritual ideals, and quietly, word for word, go through the prayer first thing in the morning. Julian of Norwich or St. Francis or the compassionate Buddha. It's called passage meditation. You internalize the perennial philosophies.
