Dear Diary,
What a day! I’m exhausted yet exhilarated. I’ve learned so much in one day; my thoughts are tumbling over one another.
Until I walked into the welcome dinner last night, I hadn’t realized how isolated I felt. Moving through each day, handling breast cancer, because what else could I do? But now I get it. As I embrace this community, I realize that I haven’t been alone, I just hadn’t opened the right door.
When I looked out the window of my hotel room I saw the image above. It couldn’t be more perfect for this moment.
There are a plethora of ideas and dreams that I want to share with you, but I must get some sleep. Tomorrow promises to be a fabulous day.
