		<description>Beth, I happened upon your blog from Tara Whitley&#039;s.  It is wonderful to see what you&#039;ve been doing.  Your thoughtful writing is so moving and enlightening.  I ask myself some of the same things you have been writing about--about what is truly vital to life and how to share oneself with the world.  Thank you so much for sharing yourself so that others of us may be inspired by your visions.</description>

		<description>Beth, Thanks so much for your honest post. I can completely relate to each of these pictures. (Except on the running, I haven&#039;t actually done that--just think that&#039;s how I&#039;d feel.) In pursuit of active adventures, I am always tentative. Additionally, my main goal in life is to stay physically comfortable--so why would I want to &quot;push&quot; myself to do anything? This is something I am working hard to try to get over. But it&#039;s hard work. I think when (and only when) I conquer that, I will be able to get in shape physically.

On a positive note, I remember summiting my first and only peaks in 2004 and how important that was to me (and to me and Brett together). 

Anyway. . .thanks for sharing. Love you.</description>
