So this may not be the most flattering photo of myself but I have to say it represents so many lessons that my girlfriends have taught me. This photo was taken in July 2010. I went on a girlfriends get-a-way vacation and when my friend Heather showed me the list of possible excursions I jumped at the chance to "Swim with the Whale Sharks." Well Heather got right on the phone and arranged the trip. She knew how much I wanted to do this, how nervous I was but that it was something that I had my heart set on. She gave me her sea sickness patch and sent me on my way. It was one of the most amazing surreal experiences of my life. When we got back to our Palapa, Heather was waiting anxiously to hear every detail. She taught me to dream big and dive right in... I knew she was there to support me, cheer me on, and even help me out if I got seasick. Heather passed away a few months after this trip so I wanted to start this blog with this lesson to remind myself everyday to Dream Big!
