I am just so happy that Abby Sunderland was found safe and sound. When I heard about that today my heart sunk a little. I just thought that girl was so couragous for following such an awesome but very risky dream. And she had parents that really encouraged her to do what she wanted. There was no fear put on her from the people around her which gave her massive amounts of courage to take on what might seem impossible to most people. I don’t normally let my heart be moved by what I hear in the news but this one just got to me. I literally felt joy in my spirit when I opened up my Yahoo Mail and saw this story. How cool is this? What do you think? I know this has to inspire thousands of people worldwide. Good job young lady!! You will get that world record some day soon, I just know it.

Yes, I too was deeply moved by this story. And soooo happy to hear that she was found. She will forever be etched in my mind as the poster girl for courageously and fearlessly living living life and going after a dream. Yes, also very impressive parents to support their 16 yr old daughter in an adventure of a life time very few will experience.
