It's time to start the journey for 2008. I didn't know all those years ago as I was standing in a conference room at REI listening to a 3 Day Orientation that I was taking the first step on a journey that would turn out to be so profound. I had no idea that on this journey I would meet people that would quite literally save my life, that would stand with me, celebrate with me, cry with me and simply hold me when I needed them the most. I had no concept of the incredible strength of character, the grace, the beauty of the people that I would meet along this journey. I have been so blessed and I am so grateful.

So here I am ramping up for another year...and I simply can't wait. Hang on. It promises to be quite a journey!
