The Maiden Voyage
The world looks different when seeing it while standing on the edge of 40-ft wall.
The cool breeze did nothing to soothe the raging nervous energy inside.
“I can’t… I can’t” kept reverberating in her head!
Suddenly, she remembered, “When was the last time you did something for the first time?
And she rappelled down.
