So beautiful, Lisa. Like Karen says below, I feel this as such a gift today. Thank you for sharing your words and those from your father. And a million congratulations on submitting your thesis! Love, love, love this landscape from Maria!

This is so moving lisa!

I love that you followed this passion you’ve had — which we’ve talked about over the years since I’ve known you — and that your plans for deep diving into the application got derailed by life and rather than bailing on it, you gave up on needing application to be perfect and submitted it .

And I’ve always loved the anne Dillard quote .
