Goin' back a few years! I couldn't help reflect on two of the most memorable days of my life. A trip to Disneyland in 2000 and a visit to Magic Mountain in 2001. Erin Hart helped me to truly live life again even if it was one rollercoaster ride at a time! Thank you Angel for inspiring me in the most humble way possible! I remember the 'old times' and welcome the new!

ANGELS
Angels are the guardians of hope and wonder, the keepers of magic and dreams. Wherever there is love, an angel is flying by. Your guardian angel knows you inside and out, and loves you just the way you are. Angels keep it simple and always travel light. Remember to leave space in your relationships so the angels have room to play. Your guardian angel helps you find a place when you feel there is no place to go. Whenever you feel lonely, a special angel drops in for tea. Angels are with you every step of the way and help you soar with amazing grace. After all, we are angels in training; all we have to do is spread our wings and fly!

In 1999, I started speaking for the Peer Education Program of Los Angeles, PEP/LA. I was immediately inspired by the dedication and passion and kindness of Ms. Erin Hart. Erin has run in TWO National AIDS Marathons. She has volunteered countless hours and years to peer education since being in junior high and has remained steadfast to her commitment no matter what. She is so committed to this disease and the loss of her friends and keeping their memory alive. In fact, she went so far as to acquire two Master's Degrees in Public Health and is now working for the county of Los Angeles in HIV prevention. She continues volunteering her time and energy with the Peer Education Program of Los Angeles as well. Erin has been such a source of strength and inspiration for me. She has been with me through thick and thin and her unconditional love for me has no value. I am blessed and grateful beyond words for having such a passionate and beautiful friend these last 6 years. You are nothing short of an amazing young woman!

"Erin Hart, started volunteering as a peer educator with PEP LA when she was 14. Kandel said the program raised her self-esteem and improved her public-speaking skills while igniting a passion to educate teens about HIV and AIDS. "It's become my life's work," she said. "Ever since I was 14 years old, my life's path kind of made itself, and I feel really fortunate." She said the peer educators she trained this summer have developed tremendous compassion and have the tools to teach people how to avoid the virus."

--The Los Angeles Times, Saturday, September 18, 1999
