While this is not really a secret, it is something most people don’t know about me. Many years ago, I read a book by Rich Fettke, who talked about using extreme sports to boost one’s confidence. Working in an industry that is 95% male, I decided to try this approach. The first adventure was climbing a mountain. That was the beginning of falling in love with trying everything I could. My son watched my adventures and started coming up with his own ideas. When I mentioned I hadn’t jumped out of an airplane yet, he said that was high on his adventure list. My son and niece are the same age, so, for their graduation gifts, we bought everyone in both families a skydiving adventure. It was a sunny day in June. Even grandma came along to watch us all jump out of planes. Watching my son and family members landing safely was great fun, and it was a day our family will never forget.
