#1 Remembering yourself and your heart is a result of getting simple. When we hear about the benefits of simplicity, we immediately think of organized sock drawers, clean countertops, and tidy bookshelves, but it’s much more than that.

#2 I had been training for the Harmon’s MS 150, a cycling event in Salt Lake City, in the spring of 2006. I was going to our local recreation center for indoor training sessions because it was still too cold to ride outdoors. I didn’t know much about multiple sclerosis, but my boss had it.

#3 I had a nightmare about my grandfather yelling at me, Lift me up, pull me up! Those words and moments haunted me. About six months after he died, I asked a minister at my church to meet me for coffee so I could tell her how mad I was that God let my grandfather die like that.

#4 I had to tell my daughter I was sick. I was divorced when she was three, and I knew I would be leaving from the day she was born. Raising a child alone provides a unique bond. I wanted to soften the blow by taking her to an ice-cream shop.
