20 years ago today, October 6, 1991, I took a leap of faith that changed my life forever. I became a skyDiva ~ skydiver. The bravest step I ever took in overcoming my fear of heights was pretty huge, and to this day, at times my ‘Acrophobia‘ is still somewhat a hurdle with each and…
To get an idea of how long I’ve kept certain items, I came across my little packet of Girl Guide memorabilia … really sweet memories actually. But apparently, I fell kind of behind in my duties as I had all these Pathfinder badges that weren’t sewn on to my Girl Guide sash. 🙂 Procrastination haunted…
With each passing day dear brother I miss you more and more. June 19, 1988. Has it really been 22 years since I lost you to the wings of the hereafter, the wings of flight? You would have made an amazing skydiver … and each jump I make, you’re right there in spirit, freeflying circles…

What a beautiful engaging soul my brother was … 19 years ago today we lost Kenny in a motorcycle accident. He is dearly missed … thought of daily and remembered with the utmost love and respect. He will forever be the incredibly talented, free and pure wild-child, my beloved older brother. Someday I hope to…
