When I first envisioned what would become “Finding My Badass Self,” I
mostly hoped it would push my personal boundaries and shake up my life.
I never expected it might nudge others to venture outside their own
comfort zones or change their life in any way.As delighted as I am that my story has invoked a few chuckles, I am also pleased it has prompted readers to reconsider aspects of their own life and to open the door when the winds of change—or else a breeze of pure serendipity—comes knocking.
This review isn’t necessarily the highest praise the book has
received. (Whodathunk I was so punny? Well, surely when I had a
colonoscopy. You need to find some way to laugh at that shit. Oops.
Touché.)
But the reviewer’s note about how my journey encouraged her one night to embark on an impromptu and rewarding adventure was incredibly heartwarming to hear. I hope, as she mentions, that she will indeed hold onto the book and open it back up 20-30 years down the road, when she may need a little adventure in her life.
And if an untimely opportunity like heading out to see the Northern Lights ever comes your way? I hope every one of you will follow her lead.
Adventures and fulfilling experiences arrive in all kinds of packages. And you never know exactly what gift you’ll receive—or how unexpectedly gratifying it may prove to be—unless you unwrap it.

When's the last time you did something for the first time--especially when you were inclined NOT to?
