WHAAAAAAATTTTTTT yea, I know, I did that, and it was such a HEART-STOPPING EXPERIENCE ❣️!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!! So I bet now you’re like, “JAZZ, WHAT ON EARTH MADE YOU WANNA DO THAT???”. Well, my good people, it all started with a dream 💭 ( insert flashback music). Nah, I’m just kidding. I wanted to be more adventurous and wanted to have more fun 🤩 and stop taking life and myself so seriously! So I made an 🎬“Action-Packed Bucket List”⛷. It was full of things like jump out of a plane ✈️ , go zip lining, skydive 🪂, parasail, hike up a mountain, kayak 🛶eat the world’s hottest pepper, etc., lol! Now, why am I sharing this with you?? Because I want YOU to do the same!! I want you to have more fun! Don’t be afraid to live your life 🙃! Your action-packed bucket list does not have to be as extreme as mine, but make it something that pushes you out of your comfort zone. Make it something that you may be terrified to do, but go forth anyway!! Make it be something that when you have kids, if you don’t already, you can tell them about when they are older!! If you do have kids, see if it’s something they can do too!! ENJOY this life you have because YOLO!!! 😎

So let me tell y’all about this day 😫 I dang near passed out!!! So i’m a bit short, and the instructor did not tighten the straps around my chest that well, and so when he pulled the chute, the straps popped up around my neck, and yeah 😳!! Here I am, trying to pull myself up while also trying to take in the massive view, and eventually, my arms give out because have you ever tried to do a pull-up while freefalling??? WELL, let me tell you, I HAVE and it is HARD!!! As I said, I’m short, so as we were landing, the instructor told me to kick my legs up like I’m sitting in a chair and MAJOR FAIL 👎🏾. So remember that whole strap to the neck thing… yeah, it kept me from kicking my extremely short legs very high, but I managed to keep them both during the landing, and by the grace of the good lawd almighty, I made it back to the ground in one piece 🙌🏾!!

-Mark Twain

This experience taught me many things about myself!!! I don’t always have to be in control to enjoy the moment 🤷🏾‍♀️. This world is gorgeous, and It’s cold at 15,000 feet 🤧!! Adventure is the art of living, and risk can provide reward and so many other incredible lessons. I am grateful that I allowed myself to get out of my way and truly experience something so unique, so eye opening, and something that I NEVER thought I would EVER do!! So would I do it again, darn tootin’ 🤠 ….wanna join me??? (Remember, Adventure is out there!! -” “UP”) 😁😁

As always, thank you ALL for allowing me to share my passions with you, and I hope that my blog inspires you to go after what you want and believe in yourself in every aspect because I believe in you! Now strike your POWER POSE 🕺💃- We got this, NOW LET’S GET TO IT!!!
