Congratulations to all; an amazing effort. I was especially pleased to hear Bonnie's voice from Kala Patar; so reminiscent of her voice from the top of Kili. Well done everyone!! Have a safe trip down.

I'm deeply touched by your message today - thank you for that! Yes, life is fragile and those steps we take through it have to be meaningful. The names on the banners do represent friends and family who have had such difficult steps to take in their lives. Thank you for the reminder. Safe journey to you all!

Rest of my message, Bonnie: And it was familiar to me, different circumstances, different locations, but I know that journey! I've been on it. I came to my computer to write, and I heard your voice. I love you, Bonnie.

For: Bonnie

Those small, deliberate steps you are taking minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day are a strong, physical analogy for the steps we all take toward love and acceptance of ourselves and our bodies, no matter the circumstances and the challenges. This AM, I wanted to CONNECT with your experience. I was just getting a blank. Then I could feel your feet trudging along the trail, your search for air and strength, your steadiness in the face of whatever is to come. And it was familiar to me.,diff
