My dad is to me the best example of unconditional love. Always giving me the freedom to explore the world, explore life… letting me follow my own ways, as eccentric as they might get and so different from his, with full trust in me. It takes character and heart to love that way.

My mom teaches me what it is to be a strong woman. Brave. With the most open heart. So willing to be herself, spontaneous. Always cheering me up, encouraging me, helping me, hugging me. I keep you in my thoughts: driving with me to Encinitas, dancing in the subway station, screaming in the finish line of the marathon… taking my hand in Alaska.

My brother. Who has seen me at my worse and still loves me and thinks I’m cool. And being himself my hero, that inspires me to live up my craziest dreams.

My sister. My constant reality check… you have no idea how much I need that

Kumar. You taught me the importance of celebrating craziness and that there is no darkness for a glowing soul.

And obviously Ninja Chris… you are the only person on Earth with who I can imagine doing this. Doing everything.
