Chasing my Dreams!

Here it is…My List….Dreams brought to reality…Dreams yet to be lived…
…Bring it On!

My “I’d love to do that!” started with just these 3 ‘Dreams’…

1) My MAJOR Lifelong Life Dream: Race around a race track, in a V8 Supercar

In the Beast with Steve Johnson…about to Live my dream…AWESOME!!!

DONE! August 23rd, 2011. BEST day of my life! The day my mind literally WOKE UP, and this crazy awesome adventure I am now on, commenced!  Racing around Qld Raceway, co-piloting Steve (Jnr) Johnson’s #17 Beast, from Dick Johnson Racing…INSANE! Being brought up with my family involved in motor racing – it is in my blood, to do this. I ‘missed out’ because of my disability..but I did it, I RACED…MY way!
I was ‘lost’ for 41yrs – it took only 3.5mins out on that track (and the day with Dick Johnson and his raceteam) for me to find exactly who I had been searching for my entire life – I finally found ME, and what I was here to do in this life of mine! Incredible feeling – one which I hope I now inspire in others, to experience for themselves!

…after I got out of the V8 Supercar (my #1 Life Dream)…I now knew that I could do absolutely ANYTHING I wanted to in life…so my List grew from just the first three Dreams I’d always had…to now, an evergrowing list of awesome Dreams I KNOW I will be able to achieve in my life!

2) Life Dream: Interacting with a dolphin
DONE! March 2010 – AMAZING to be able to interact, touch, and play with a beautiful, peaceful but oh-so-cheeky dolphin!

Video: My Interaction with a Dolphin

Waterfight with Tyson…hehe…cheeky!

3) Life Dream: Jet-skiing
DONE! September 7, 2013 – AMAZING experience..not only did I get to ride the jetski…I got to drive it myself too! 🙂

Water…speed…adrenaline…driving the jetski myself – AMAZING experience!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 I decided to add 3 ’to strive for, physically’ things to my ‘List’ and tick off ‘#79. Undertake a physical challenge and connect it to raising money for charity’, by  hosting an Event  in November, 2012 on the Sunshine Coast Qld, to combine my 3 Fitness Goals listed below, and to raise funds for (the now former) SBH Qld – It was an incredibly MAGICAL time, ticking these Goals off my List, and ‘giving back’ to the community in this way!

1. Slowdancing
2. Walking down the beach, hand in hand with ‘a guy/my guy’
3. Climb a mountain

All three of these Fitness Goals were achieved by getting up on my feet, out of my wheelchair, to bring these Dreams to life.  I thought, you know what…maybe I CAN do these things, after all (with a lot of support and assistance from others). Who knows, they may just end up happening! If I strive for them, and they just end up being ‘out of reach’ physically….hey, at least I know that I’ve given them a RED HOT GO!!  And, after an intense 9 month physical training program (and a lot of mind challenges faced)… I NAILED them!! 😀

9 months of intensive training and organising – without a doubt one of the most intense challenges I have ever set for myself – ABSOLUTELY worth it!

Thank you so much to the generosity of the human spirit (through physical/emotional, or financial support), not only were my Fitness Goals achieved in the most amazing way….but there was $3,725 raised for (the now former) SBH Qld.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
This venture is not a ‘disability-focused’ venture, it never was, and this is not my intention…nor my want.
Yes disability is ‘touched on’ because of my lived experience of disability – but I strive to achieve what I do, as a bucketlister first and foremost, and a woman determined to live my Best Life…its that simple! 🙂

Please dont treat me or my venture as ‘inspiration porn’, as described by this TED Talk delivered by Australian woman, the late Stella Young.
Be inspired by, and treat me as, the woman and bucketlister I am…not the disability you see.
Thank you 
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Two things that Chasing my Dreams has also brought to my life, personally….
Create my Dream Life – Creating it!
Finding my Inner Peace – Found it! (it does go away from time to time – as we all know, “life happens”….but the lessons and growth I’ve experienced through my humble little venture, have always stayed with me and always brings me ‘home’ to myself). I AM a bucketlister – even when I’m not “ticking Dreams off the List’!
Found Myself and who I am meant to be in this world – ABSOLUTELY!!!

ANY suggestions, or contacts/offers of support to get me towards these Goals, would be MUCH appreciated – or perhaps you’d like to join me, in ticking something from my List, off of your List, too!

~Keep chasing those Dreams/items on your Bucket List…they WILL change your life!!
