Happily on my way to LA for the NORRA party celebrating the Mexican 1000 event. It’s been one of those trips. Thanks to wonderful Aunt Joy I am flying stand-by, and of course when you fly stand-by you have to make some sacrifices. For my best chance at a seat I had to start trying to leave Denver at 6am this morning. Since we live 3+ hours from the airport I decided to get to the airport last night. I arrived at the Denver airport around 10pm last night, watched Dexter for awhile and then slept on the floor at my gate for about an hour. I woke up at 4am and have been kind of roaming around ever since.
A Very Loving Donation From A Wonderful Friend
I want to make sure I clarify again and again, this journey of my mastectomies and reconstruction has been in some ways absolutely grueling, but has also been awe-inspiring and amazing.
No doubt, there are many people that don’t understand my choice. And don’t support my decision and that I’ve hardly heard from since I went public with my decision. That’s okay. I can’t change that, and can’t make them understand, and don’t know that I would try even if I could. But the much more profound outcome has been the breathtaking support of my dear old friends and the new freinds I’ve made along the way.
Notes From A Stressed Out Mind
Hmmmm, it’s been a crazy week. Ha! I guess it’s really been a crazy life, but let’s just talk about the recent days. 
All of a sudden, Courage is growing rapidly. We should reach 50,000 YouTube views by June 1st, and 100,000 views in August. We now sometimes hear from several women a day, and that is the best news of all. I have also found some pretty amazing women myself, and my wheels are turning in my mind about ways to make them part of my Courage Vision.

Quick Check In
I don’t have the energy for much of a post, but just wanted to let yall know that I am safe and healthy in Loreto. We haven’t had much sleep, as time keeper I have to be first at the start and last at the finish. The course has been tough for some vehicles, so we’ve been at the finish line very late. Although Pam and Ken and Eliseo have it much worse, they have to put together the times for the entire day before starting tomorrow.
Day Two In Mexicali
Well, today started with a bang! And then a shake, and a rattle, and a roll! There was an earthquake last night, I heard through the grapevine that it was a 5, but since I slept through it I’m not sure that I believe it was that strong!
Safe Arrival In Mexicali
Yay! We arrived in Mexicali today! I have to just say that I have met amazing people already, so early in the journey. Pam, Mike, Toni, Betsy, Ashley…wow, it truly touches my heart the kindness and friendship of these wonderful people. I feel as though I have known them forever and it’s only been one day.

Listen to My First Radio Appearance!
Thank you all for being interested in my recent appearance on the Dave Stall radio show, and for your patience while I tracked down the files of the show to post here! I have divided the hour long show into 4 segements, each of them about 10 minutes long. So grab some coffee and listen to what you can!
A Week Of Silence
So much has happened in the last week that I don’t know how I’ll catch up with my updates, but I have learned so much and have so much to share.
First, let me assure you that I am doing okay. There have been some bumps in the road over the last 7 days, but today is a wonderful day and I’m finally feeling myself. I will post some additional posts and videos this weekend, but all in all the surgery went very well and I’m on the road to recovery.
Finding Courage To Change My Life
I have great memories of my senior year of high school. Our principal was a quirky guy, and he often let us take an extra few moments between classes to ‘stop and smell the roses’. I remember he would tell us that we were the masters of our own destiny, the captain of our ship. I believe that is true, I just think so many of us are frightened of change and too often let our ships drift along without a true captain.
