To Calm My Unquieted Mind!

Truly one of THEE best experiences of my 40 years of life. I shared it with my son & took him with a group of friends for his 20th birthday.

I can’t even watch the video of it without crying. The photo I have attached to this goal is perfect! I have never had such clarity & peace of mind in my entire life. For that reason alone I would pay nearly any price.

It was such an amazing & spiritual experience that I am actually at a loss for words to describe it. It felt like time was endless, life was limitless, peace surrounded me & was within me, & joy was all there was left to feel.

One of the people we jumped with was a 58 years old man & I was dumbstruck at his reaction – it was so powerful for me that I cannot imagine anyone having anything but an overpoweringly positive reaction/response. Although I understand that we all experience things differently.

I would suggest this to anyone – it is worth every expensive cent – I’d make a way (if I were you) to make it happen. I cannot imagine anyone walking away feeling anything but filled with renewed energy, zeal, & bright thoughts for the future.

(not to mention the adrenaline rush you get – for my son it was almost too much – he could hardly contain himself… for that alone it was worth it too!!!)

2008 – THIS IS THE YEAR!!!

15 August 2008 is my son’s 20th birthday. I turned 40 in January & made a firm commitment, that I am constantly following through on, that THIS IS THE YEAR… for making changes… this is the year to follow through… and every other great thing I have wanted for myself.

So, with a group of friends from “COUCHSURFING.COM”, I am taking my son to go skydiving for our first time! I am thrilled, scared (lol), & energized by the fact that I really am following through with so many of my dreams for my life this year.

Dreams can be big or small. This may be one of the rather smaller ones in life – but it’s the small stuff that cares us through & fuels us to newer & greater heights!

THIS IS THE YEAR!!!

It is my goal to plan & carry out a once in a lifetime trip – ultimately to somewhere in Afrika (haven’t decided where exactly yet) for my 40th birthday (19 January 2008).

I’m not certain about maybe stopping somewhere in Europe first – but I know I want to go by way of Couchsurfing.com & meet up with some of the many amazing folks I have met online.

I am in Minnesota & money will be tight so I can’t go everywhere I may like to go. Anyone have any ideas, advise, suggestions, interest?
