Do Stuff That Thrills & Excites You!

eve_rising_2.jpgSusan notes: as usual, this message from the Daily Om came at exactly the right time for me. Maybe it’s the right time for you too...

Each human life has the potential to be dramatic, thrilling, and awe-inspiring. Our lives are, in truth, ours to design. 

Each day, we make choices that influence the character of our experiences, and our decisions determine whether our paths are rousing or tedious, breathtaking or tiresome.

Fearless Photojournalist Margaret Moth Dies March 21, 2010

Susan notes: I'm deeply saddened by the death yesterday of one of my heroines, war zone journalist and camerawoman Margaret Moth. She was an amazing woman in every sense of the world. I am grateful for her life so fully lived.

See the three-part CNN docuentatry video of her life here: Margaret Moth (Journalist/Camerawoman); and my September 2009 blog on her story here: The Margaret Moth Story: FEARLESS (or: A Heroine Just Walked Into My Life). This is part of Moth's obituary which ran yesterday on CNN.com; click on the link below to see the complete article.

margaret_moth_obituary.jpgSimply put, Margaret Moth made an impression.
Given her jet-black hair, thick black eyeliner, black clothes and combat boots (which she often slept in while on assignment), people didn't always know what to think upon meeting her. She was quirky, the sort who excused herself from a social gathering by saying she had to wash her socks.

And she was fearless, the kind of woman who not only kept the camera rolling while under fire, but zoomed in on a soldier who was shooting at her.
Colleagues learned quickly to appreciate all that this CNN camerawoman was. Beyond her rich personality, which included deep optimism and kindness, she brought to her profession top-notch technical abilities, unmatched dedication and an approach to work that inspired others to push themselves.

Canadian Ice Fishing Antics: How We Check Fish Stocks In The Frozen North

Susan notes: OMG! Only crazy Canadians would pull a stunt like this one... I'm still laughing LOL. Listening to their accents, I bet they're Maritimers, possibly Newfies. They say they're in Northern Ontario, but I they sound like Newfoundlanders to me... I love Maritimers (was married to one for 20 years lol), and Newfoundlanders are the best of them. It's great to be Canadian:)
