I
met Rebekka Armstrong in 1999 while
living in Los Angeles, California. I
had the good fortune to speak with her
on a couple of occasions as well as
participate in the National AIDS Marathon
training together. Rebekka is a long-term
HIV/AIDS survivor and a highly devoted
educator and advocate on a national
level. Whether she is gracing the cover
of POZ Magazine, speaking to countless
thousands of college
students,
or advocating for fair pricing for HIV
medications, she is indeed tireless
and committed to helping
youth avoid the agony of a life with
HIV/AIDS. Her sites are inspiring and
have a wealth of information and personal
insight. We have managed to stay in
contact for the last eight years and
it's been a blessing to be partners
in this fight together! I encourage
you to view her bodybuilding site as
well. Much like her determination to
survive, she has applied her strengths
to become an outstanding athlete! She
is beautiful inside and out and I'm
indeed honored to call her my friend.

The
most beautiful people we have known are those
who have known defeat, known suffering, known
struggle, known loss, and have found their way
out of the depths. These people have an appreciation,
a sensitivity, and an understanding of life
that fills them with compassion, gentleness,
and a deep, loving concern. Beautiful people
do not just happen.
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!
