When I walk up on that shore in Florida, I want millions of those AARP sisters and brothers to look at me and say, 'I'm going to go write that novel I thought it was too late to do. I'm going to go work in Africa on that farm that those people need help at. I'm going to adopt a child. It's not too late, I can still live my dreams.'

This is a lifelong dream of mine and I'm very very glad to be with you.

If you want to touch the other shore badly enough, barring an impossible situation, you will. If your desire is diluted for any reason, you'll never make it.

This journey has always been about reaching your own other shore no matter what it is, and that dream continues.

The spirit is larger than the body. The body is pathetic compared to what we have inside us

But for each of us, isn't life about determining your own finish line?

The integrity and self-esteem gained from winning the battle against extremity are the richest treasures in my life
