Someone who is very dear to us gave me this T-Shirt today, they got it at MD Anderson, Texas while putting out a fight of a life-time, and they thought of me. They said, "it embodies who you are as a person, a friend and an architect". I was humbled by the gesture, because behind all the bravado, the "my way or the highway" or "take no-prisoners" image I portray, there is the real person, who is nurtured by everyone around, my real family, Marco, Susana, Justin, Dicle, Peter and Stephen.
That message could not have come up at a better time... I just have arrived back from a life-saving trail run with Lance (not Amstrong, but my former partner) and was at the end of my rope with all the deadlines and obligations Esc Arc has to deal day-in-and-day-out... Then they were there, you know who you are... I feel so blessed to share with you on your journey to healing... and yes, "Failure is not an Option"... I promise you that much... Have faith and miracles will continue to happen.
God Bless,
Ana
