In the spring of 2007, I was hiking the Appalachian Trail through the Smokies and met Dave Pschirer who was hiking for the weekend. I felt an immediate connection to him and enjoyed our conversation that evening and the next morning. Dave shared that he and his wife were starting a retreat center for people who have cancer. He took my email address and followed through with putting me on their mailing list.
It's called Wind River, and it's located in western North Carolina. Dave and Shannon just celebrated the center's first anniversary, and from the sounds of the newsletter I just got, they're busy making a difference in people's lives. Check it out at windriverservices.com.
I appreciate this example of people who have a vision to make a difference in the world, and who manifest that vision in reality. Wow.
Dave's parting words were that he was sure we'd cross paths again. We haven't yet, but it's still likely.
In wonderment,
Em
