Expectant vs Expecting
If you truly embrace the struggle, or the challenge, or the change, or the suffering-whatever it may be-through that surrender to it, you then move through it, because you allowed yourself to be changed by it.
About Suzy
- She grew up next to a river, surrounded by the forests.
- Throughout all of her early work-whether she was studying biology, teaching middle school, or writing curriculum-she missed the outdoors.
- As director of Mount Hermon, she's combined her interests in teaching and biology, and spends most of her time outdoors amongst the redwoods.
- Learned a lot about taking risks from the experience of ziplining: sometimes, you have to just step off the platform and trust your line.
- Ziplining taught her to be present in the moment, and also to recognize every moment as having great potential.
- Says you can do anything once you get a good grasp on who you are as a person.
- She says who she is isn't about what she does; she actually learned the most about herself while she was unemployed.
- Tells road-trippers your 20s are about having experiences so you can know who you are, what you're made of, and what you want to be about.
