Patti is smarter and tougher than I can can really comprehend, in addition to being deeply compassionate and a hoot. That's just _some_ of her...

Patti inspires me most with her warm heart, open mind, and creative spirit. I’ve been truly fortunate to be a part of her life....and I’m excited to continue digging deeper into her mind. I always feel incredibly comfortable and free to be myself when in her company......my thoughts become my words without censorship. This makes our time together very fruitful and enjoyable. I have shared an extraordinary amount of laughs and smiles with her!

Patti continuously challenges herself to overcome the unnecessary conditions that our society places upon us. She is a brave individual who stands up strong to what she believes in. She is well on her way to fulfilling her innermost dreams within this lifetime as a result of her conscious choices and personal responsibility. Patti, thanks for being you!

Patti.....When I first met you.....You were....... different.......
It has been a gift to see you nurture yourself into the healthy honest self that you are.
Every time you let the world see you for who you are underneath that shy little pattikins mouse exterior....You remind us all of our true potential....
I think back at times we have spent together.....climbing a hill running after dear and then freaking out when you realized the hill was a mountain and you were at the top of it!......but you did not give up you went for it full on and made it down the most adventurous way we could have possibly found.....Or the time at shasta when you sat down to cry with your new friend rock by the river......and remember when you got all those splinters in your hand and did not want to tell anybody because you were shy....awwwww....so many stories so little words....speaking of dear....remember when you and Tena went camping alone....in the dark....WITH DEAR!!!!AHHHHH!!!
You are awesome!!.......You overcome everything that comes your way and challenges you and that is why you rock!
How about one more story....remember burning man!......you climbed the ladder!!!
Helllllllooooo!!!!!You climbed the ladder!!!!!!
That is why you are so cool!
Thanks for being you and letting us be part of your developing adventures!

b) color
c) love
d) all of the above and then some!

Answer: D.

I just love her. She's like my own little personal mirror. She's much better than those store bought kinds. It's funny though, when I look at her, I see dreads, and I'm almost sure I cut mine off. Hmmm....but I know she's a mirror, so I don't question it. I love you Patti.
