Beautiful and inspiring post. Life can only become complete when you finally realize the goals and dreams that you set out for yourself during the turbulence and chaos of childhood. I am still a journeyman in this respect, slowly feeling my way towards what I hope is a more peaceful and stable day-to-day existence. I have too much to be grateful for, although sometimes your dreams even swallow those sentiments and in doing so rob you of their influence. I am trying my hand at climbing now at the ripe age of 27, and I plan on giving it my best to see where it takes me. Wish I was in Yosemite, never made it out there when I was in the bay, so enjoy for the rest of us! Keep up the great work with the writing and blog.

Hi Katie

I am new to climbing. I just turned 50 and feel amazing. I did Outward Bound in Canada when I was 18 and I have done a little indoor climbing. I just want to thank you for your article in “Climbing” Magazine “What’s It Worth”. It has shifted my paradigm with both work & climbing.

Thank you for your amazing insight and honesty & heartfelt openness (if that is such a word).

You totally rock.
