“This will be a changing day in your life.”  - Dr. Phil


 

Aconcagua journal entry: 
Jan. 1, 2000

“On the deepest level, this has been a changing day in my life.  I learned that my body is strong, at least for now, and so is my spirit.  I am ready to speak of my disease without feeling shame.  The time has come to let go of the pain and start living again.  I have learned many things on this climb, but mostly I learned about courage…the courage to face your problems and move forward, one step at a time.  I am alive.  I am happy.  What more could I want?  Not a thing.”
