Challenge: Celebrate Yourself

Self_love

Self love. That is the beginning of happiness. But society makes that awfully hard, especially for women. Look through covers of US magazine and you will see rotating covers featuring women who have gained weight, then next week a feature about an actress with an eating disorder.

Eagle's Nest Wilderness, photo by Jon Heinrich © 2013

I'm high up in the Gore Range with America's most inspiring left-handed climber Aron Ralston. We have a fantastic view of dawn through the silvery underleaves of the dewy underbrush as we breathe in the crisp mountain air.

The 15 passenger van was silent as we drove through the downtown area of Rockaways that seemed to be hit the hardest.
