Day 209: Who Is That Woman Driving?

I'm sorry but I've never seen a more gorgeous and adorable Indy Race Car Driver! Oh my gosh could she be any cuter? I don't think so!

It's Heather Carter, Brian's fearless right hand person at Corner Construction Co., Inc. Last weekend she went to Las Vegas to the Mario Andretti driving academy and drove laps just like the real race car drivers. Crazy!

This was one of her "bucket list" items and so now she can check it off the list! She tells me she also wants to do NASCAR driving and trapeze... lots of chutzpa for such a small cookie!

Heather tells me she was the only woman driving the course that day! You Go Girl!

How wonderful to go for your dreams, as wild or crazy as they may be.... Miss Heather has just gone for it! I love her spirit. I know people thought I was crazy when I ran for public office. And maybe I was. But I did it and am still standing to talk about it, loss and all. And others think I'm crazy for attempting to run a marathon - all 26.2 miles.

But these are the things that make our lives challenging. When we step out of our comfort zone and fulfill our "bucket list" items, we feel alive. You can't always play it safe, adventure gets the blood pumpin' in your soul and it's so important.


Taking risks, attempting difficult challenges, going for your goals, trying new experiences, this is what living is!

Kudos to Heather for being such an inspiration and fulfilling one of her many "bucket list " items. I'm not sure if I want to drive a race car, but my marathon running is plenty fast for me!

If you have an adventure you are working towards or have already accomplished and you want to share, please send me photos as we all need a little inspiration daily!

Girl Power Rocks! Keep making us proud Heather!
