Hi, just wanted to thank you for creating such a wonderful blog. Although I’ve never thanked anyone for writing, I feel inclined to do so, feel kind of silly too, but that’s beside the point
. I feel like you’ve written about me, that those are my stories, especially the ones about James.I feel identified with your stories, and while knowing that you wrote from the heart and your experience, I feel like your story so many can relate to.
I lost my friend a couple of years ago. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of him and I understand the guilt, and missing him. The way you tell a story is just beautiful, and brought me to tears, because in a weird way it’s like you were in my head and my heart. I wish you luck, and am sure you will be insanely successful, if you are not so already.
@May. Thank you for such kind words. I am so glad the stories of James affect you too. I’m sorry you’ve suffered a loss too. I’m sure you understand that aching pain! Thank you so much. I really appreciate your sweet words!!!
Just saw your Youtube video about todd Skinner. Todd was my rock climbing mentor when I was at his families camp in Wyoming many years back. Todd would have loved that video. He always lived for the moment and shared that passion with those around him. Every time I climb, I think of him and others I know who have died climbing- with all of them it wasn’t just a passion but a lifestyle- an embodiment of soul. Thank you for remembering a friend who is missed by many, and thank you for showing others what Todd stood for.
@ David K, thank you so much for what you wrote. When I first read your comment, I broke out in tears! I kept meaning to respond. Its such an honor to communicate with someone who knew Todd in real life. Years ago, I just ‘happened” upon his obiturary and I NEVER forget it. Something about him and his life spoke volumes to me and I reference him often even though I never met him. To know that he would have liked my video means a lot. I REALLY REALLY appreciate what you wrote. It means so much to me!!!!!!!!!!
Sheena,
you have been an inspiration for a while now and have moved, touched me with your strength many times.
Thank you for being such a beautiful person inside and out to find the power to come forward and do what you do. You truly are a blessing. The recent post made me cry and I just felt the need to tell you that I love you for what you do and who you are.
Thank you
