Loving Life in Idaho

Race for the Cure Boise, Idaho May 9th, 2009 Of course, this blog has to be in Pink. This morning was quite inspiring! Last year Boise had 14,050 walkers and this year we topped 15,000. It is pretty impressive for our population. I found today to be quite inspiring and very touching. I especially liked the papers on the backs of people that said who they were walking in memory of or celebration of. There were sisters,aunts, mothers, daughters, even fathers. All I can say about this event is that it felt wonderful to be a part of this group. I would do it again in a heartbeat and Lindsey and I want to find more walks like this to be a part of. I know that my Emily would have loved to be a part of this walk also. I feel very tired today, it is more emotional than anything because I walk 3 miles on the treadmill everyday, so it is not the physical exhaustion, but rather all the emotions involved in this day. Let's all pray for a cure, the sooner the better.

This is Dr. Z. I know he is quite famous in the chiropractic profession and he teaches at Palmer College.He is a part time professor and a traveler with much experience in life. I don't know much about his professional career, but what I do know from one meeting with him is that he is charming, warm, kind, a devoted husband, father and grand father, he thinks the world of his wife and that is such a marvelous quality. When you look in his eyes, you want to know everything he has to teach and share and he is magnetic, you don't want to stop talking to him or listening to him. This is grace, charm, character, wisdom, kindness and so much more. I feel honored to have met him even for a brief time.
