About a week ago we wrote a blog about Lisa and a letter she wrote to us (check it here if you missed it).

Lisa is a colon cancer survivor who came to a great realization once she had beaten her disease. In the past, Lisa had given herself up to meet the needs of other people and for the first time in her life she gave herself permission to pursue her own dreams. She is now on the road to becoming an independent filmmaker.

Lisa read the blog we posted and left a comment that I wanted to share…

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I can’t express how much it means to me. Everyone that I’ve let into “my little secret” has been incredibly supportive, I haven’t heard one negative comment, even from those who don’t really understand. I wish everyone has people like this in their lives. If I had to name one good thing that cancer gave me it would be that I no longer fear many things. Thanks for sharing. - Lisa

Learn from Lisa: give yourself permission to pursue your goals & dreams. Don’t be afraid to talk about them with others too. Good things will follow.. - TBL

This was a big day for Dave, a very big day. In fact, it was Dave’s idea to put #44 on the list and he had been looking forward to crossing it off since last year’s tour when he spent a whole day casting into a river and caught nothing but a tire. You see, Dave has never caught a fish before in his life, so when we lined up a professional fly fishing guide and a trip to a trout-packed pond in Idaho, he couldn’t stop talking about it. When Debby, our guide, told us that the pond was so riddled with trout that there was “No way you won’t catch a fish”, you can imagine how Dave’s eye’s lit up.

Debby, our very fly guide

So, Jonnie, Duncan and I did what any good friends would do in this situation, we stepped back to let Dave take the lead and gave him all the encouragement we could for his big moment…of course, this was after we cut the hook off of his lure…

Sure enough, with Dave’s first cast into the trout infested pond he felt a bite and yelled out with glee, “Oh! I think I got one!!” This of course was followed by the inevitable, “Oh crap! He got away!” This pattern continued for the next hour or two, Dave would get a bite and everyone would pipe up with encouragements, the fish would get away and the three of us would voice our concerns. “Are you setting the hook Dave?” “Do you think it’s a technical problem?” “Keep it up Davo, you’re close!” In the mean time, Jonnie, Duncan and I were having a grand old time as we had caught fish at our whim and took in the calming Idaho landscape.

Rainbow Trout #3 (Not Dave’s)

Finally, after a 4th or 5th “Do you think it’s a technical problem?” from Jonnie, Dave checked his lure and realized he was without a hook. Needless to say, Dave wasn’t too thrilled with our little joke. However, the joke ended up being on us because in the last hour Dave caught more fish than any of the 3 of us had caught the whole day.

Back in good spirits, we took our catches, gutted them with the help of Debby and cooked our fresh fish over an open fire. It was a wonderful day, one that Dave will never forget. -ben

Ahoy!

It’s quite late and I think I’m getting sick, but I want to share this with you.

While in Sun Valley we were lucky enough to not only ride in a 4 seater Cessna plane, but actually learn to fly one.  After a heated game of rock-paper-scissors, Duncan and Dave won co-pilot chairs on 2 separate flights over the breathtaking mountains as Jonnie and I rode in awe behind.  Mike, our trusty captain, taught us the ropes and took us for a flight we will never forget (I might forget the landing actually, because I was really starting to feel sick in the back), but I can assure you Duncan and Dave will not.  They took the reins mid flight and dipped and climbed thousands of feet in the air.  Duncan, who dreamed of being a pilot when he was young, said it was a dream come true.

“Jonnie’s like a bird, he only flies away…”

Thanks for everything Mike, it was an incredible ride.
