jobs home thinking
I think I've done a pretty good job of not compartmentalizing my life. I take my core values and I live them out at home like I would in my snowboarding like I would at church with my friends.
thinking who-i-am people
I'm more comfortable with my beliefs and with who I am. I honestly don't think about it that much. I just try to live my life and I try to love people. I try to love God well and I try to love people well. Those are my main objectives.
successful thinking years
These have been the most successful years I've ever had. I've been placing well in the contests but more importantly I've been enjoying them. I think those two things go hand-in-hand.
thinking self-worth snowboarding
2006 Games -by then, my identity had started to shift. Before that, my identity was in snowboarding. That's how people knew me and that's how I knew myself. That's where I got a lot of my self worth. That began to shift and I started to understand that I didn't get my worth from people or from the things that I did. It was from Christ. If I hadn't had that shift in my life, I think my world would have come crumbling down.
taken heart thinking
Instead of thinking about building up my image or building up my brand or building up my career, I've turned it and taken the approach of focusing on what I can give instead of what I can get. It's been a very enjoyable process for me. That's more of a heart position that I've taken. It's been one of the greatest things I've ever done.

The shamrock program is a big part of our yearly budget.

That was the best women's final there's ever been. People were throwing down their best runs.

That was awful. It hurt me. After that I really got back and did a lot of training. I look at that as motivation for this season.

What we got was a very smart jacket.

I found out there is a lot more joy and hope and eternal things in the world than snowboarding.
backside best came clean giving kept maintained pipe problems ridden rode style year
The pipe was the best it's been yet and I rode the best I've ridden all season. My backside fives have been giving me problems all year but I was able to put it together. I kept it clean and maintained my style and it all came together.

Up until that point, it was the best run of my life.
