Her first encounter with the possibilities of the huge power driving a person from within happened when she finished college and decided to go to the Caribbean, making her way around the islands working as a deck-hand and chose to risk what she had eventually set out to do – crossing the Atlantic. This quest changed her life possibilities. She discovered that it was possible to transform aspirations, dreams and visions into reality. When she was 22 years old she lost one of her brothers in a tragic accident, which pushed her to confromt some of the unfairness of existence. She formulated the quest – Get busy living or get busy dying. If you were to die in 24 hours are you then living life the way you find meaningful? If not-what are you willing to do to change it?
