What An Amazing Experience

Do YOU believe that ONE experience can Change your life forever?

We had the most absolutely amazing experience during our race in San Francisco. This was such a great cause and it touch deep down to our cores to be part of 20,000 people (mostly women), running for a cure! Everyone we saw was running in memory of someone or because they themselves were a SURVIVOR!!! Signs & shirts with peoples pictures, names & ages - ranging from the smallest child to the elderly.

Each day as I see my medal (thanx to Tiffany & Co.) around my neck, I reflect on my experience and also on what I learned from it. It wasn't just a race or the sense of accomplishment that I felt for finishing it. It was this one experience with so many great people - people from all walks of life, from all over the world - people fighting for the same thing!!! My life is different because I had this opportunity - that is what it truly was, an opportunity!

and you know what . . .
{ONE experience can change your life FOREVER and you can help change OTHERS lives forever too}

What stands out the most to me is -
PRIORITIES & KNOWING WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN MY LIFE

If you've never had an experience like this or it's been a long time - I hope that you can reevaluate your life and find out what is MOST important to you.
This wall had the names of all 20,000 runners on it!
