I was speaking to a dear friend and ex colleague the other day and he said, “Rachel, come on you have to admit that you have the personality that makes people either love you or hate you. Most of us love you.” I laughed, because that was what was appropriate at the moment but then you think ok what would it be about me that would make someone hate me. And then you think, who cares? Right. So I’ve been getting many phone calls from people I have worked with in the last sixteen years and it is sort of like weeding through the chaff to understand who has touched me and who I have touched on this journey. And then there are indelible moments, one of which was sent to me this morning captured in a snapshot.

I had to ask myself now why I would possibly be on the phone with that nice cold beer sitting in front of me, away in a foreign land, a warm and engaging companion with whom to speak. But then again, this is the photo of someone I used to be, the gal always available for someone else’s agenda.
