This blog post is a celebration of people. It is meant to celebrate their beauty, diversity, and individuality. There's not a person on this planet you couldn't love once you've heard their story. People are amazing...each with a story to tell. Each struggles in their own way. Each wins personal and social victories. Each deals with uncertainties. Each finds answers. Each faces hardships. Each triumphs. Each is different. Each is beautiful. Each experiences sadness. Each has jolts of happiness. Each yearns for acceptance. Each is accepted when we embrace and love people for being people.

Bernard lost his father (in portrait above) and mother from AIDS when he was a teenager. Left to survive on his own, the gift of education proved to be the key to not only his survival but to his success in life. Bernard has beaten all odds. Bernard is a wonderful example to me.

He found my stolen camera lens in the Costa Rica jungle...? Not sure. He lived in a 3X6 ft. hut on the beach in Puerto Viejo right next to our guest house. This man hails from my adventures in 2009...but because I didn't do this in '09, he made the cut.
