She Did It!




Well I survived and OH MY, I WAS TOTALLY RECHARGED!!! I fear that I have become thoroughly addicted to skydiving! The experience was unlike any other. By far the best part was swinging my feet out of the airplane door, folding my arms, and leaning forward and falling into the open sky. Truly a one of a kind experience that words can NOT describe. Falling at 120mph for 40 seconds and traveling a mile was amazing. I felt alive, I felt free, and completely fulfilled. I have always been a bit of an adventure and, ok, an adrenaline junkie, and I have not had my fix in some time. Skydiving was definitely the ticket!!! I will absolutely do it again in the future. Next time I would like to do it at sundown and jump into a pink, orange, and red sky. Jumping at Harbor Springs was also the right choice. I could see all the way to the Wisconsin coast! I saw Mackinac bridge, Green Bay, and all the islands in between.

The lesson behind this experience for me was to always remember to live each day to the fullest. To take chances and receive great rewards. To remember who I am and what I want out of life. Thank you Skydive Harbor Springs for the most incredible experience.

Signing off from the heart and the SKY!

Free Falling

Free Falling from Kaley

Well folks, as long as the weather holds on May 15th I will be jumping out of a perfectly good airplane! It has been a long time dream to go skydiving and I am finally making it happen! I actually believe that it will be a very therapeutic experience. Life is very busy and unknown right now. It is the first time in my life that I have no idea what is to come in the near months…and it is a fairly surreal feeling. I have always been a planner who sets goals and meets them! It is a foreign feeling to not know what to anticipate. So I decided to let it all go, be at peace with whatever comes my way and jump out of a plane! I am very excited. Did you know that you free fall for up to 30 seconds!!! Count um’ one thousand one, one thousand two…that’s a long fall. Hopefully the weather cooperates and I can send pictures of the view 12,000 feet up and the journey down. Write again soon!

Signing off from the heart-
