Hello Members,

June is a great time to go outside and take in all that the world has to offer. Whenever I think of trying something new or something out of my comfort zone, I go back and forth with the pros and cons of whatever the new opportunity may be. When I get nervous and think about all the reasons I should not participate or try something new, I then remind myself of what Annie Edson Taylor did back in October of 1901. She was a 34-year-old schoolteacher who had a crazy idea and ran with it. She was the first person to make the daring attempt to go over Niagara Falls in a wooden barrel and she succeeded with only a small gash on her head. After

the adventure was over, she swore to never take that ride again. She did what no one else attempted before and lived to tell the tale. Now I’m not saying we should all climb in a wooden barrel and go over massive water falls but we should take a deep breath and step into something new if the opportunity arises. You never know, you may find a new hobby, a new friend or even a talent you didn’t know you had. Cheers to the next adventure in your life..
