Well we did it! I can honestly say that that was one of the best experiences of my life; a real life-changing morning. For the person who thought she was going to be an absolute baby, crying and clinging onto
the sides, I was as cool as a cucumber. We all were. Up we went to the tune of Top Gun (we were all singing it...they weren't playing it). We cheered Janet on as she was the first of us to enter the 'open door zone' - then she was gone...."Where'd she go?" says the thought bubble out of my head. That was it - my turn "1...2 legs up" and we were out! We were floating looking down at the view. A tap on the shoulders said I could let go of the front straps and put my arms out to
freefall. Amazing ladies and gentlemen, just amazing. As the parachute lifted us up (that's what it feels like but we were still falling) all I can remember saying was that this was so beautiful. The silence, the beautiful day, the view.
This has been a massive lesson in getting out of my comfort zone and feeling the fear but doing it anyway. I will never worry too much about 'the how' again. I am going to practice
much more of what I preach and say YES to opportunities and sort the rest out later. If I had been 'too scared' or too full of 'I can't's, I would never have known what it was like to feel like this - and I feel amazing - powerful, strong, gutsy.
