A few months ago I decided to face some old fears and celebrate new beginnings. I lost a dear friend last year to breast cancer and the finite-ness of my life stared me in the face. I also just finished recording my album "Beyond Words", which I'm so proud of. So I went skydiving!!! Who was the brave soul to do the jump with me... my amazing mother!!! How cool is that! Love you mom!
