I love how your story begins with you resenting religious undertones and ends with you reciting Hail Marys. Adversity will do that to you. In fact, I believe, that’s why it does.

Izzy, thank God life is not fair, eh?sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good … I believe in you! and I think you’re a bad ass !

Your post reminds me … a wise person once told me …

“if at first you don’t succeeded…, try and hide your astonishment.” (a twist on humility.)

But You said it best… ‘Everyday is a lesson in humility, acceptance, and trust’

And my final cringe-worthy dad Quote…

“There’s a difference between knowledge and wisdom…”

“Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing NOT to put it in a fruit salad.”

Keep TRUDGING the path of ‘happy destiny!’ I believe something wonderful is going to happen ! ❤️

Dear Izzy,

Your journal entry describing an apparent setback sealed the trail name “Icy” for your courage and poses an alternate spelling (“I-see”) for the insights you’ve gained.

You’re an amazing, determined and heroic person and I am humbled by your courage and strength. I can’t wait to congratulate you when you return.

You are literally living the movie WILD on steroids. (Except you actually hiked the Sierras- ahem).
