A Healing Leap: Why skydiving should be at the top of your list

Every once in a while you experience something truly extraordinary; something that gets inside you and ignites you inexplicably. These are the experiences that make life worth living, the work worth doing and the rest even better. And, as it turns out, you don’t have to go through life trying to find those moments, or worse, sit around and wait for them to find you. No, friends, for you too can simply pay for one of these moments — and I am not talking about mood altering drugs; I am talking about skydiving.

It was a cool October morning last year when I rendezvoused with a good friend, Izzy, his wife and brother, for a trip to Skydive Arizona for a life-changing 13,000 foot tandem free-fall sky-dive. It’s taken me this long to write a blog post about it because I wasn’t able to relinquish the need to capture the experience in words on this page; it simply cannot be done. Doing it should top your list as it will fill you with a single focus like you haven’t experience since you were a kid, light you up like Christmas tree for a month and will probably knock silly any phobias or hangups you’re dragging around.

Put simply: Talk about a change in perspective! It’s like taking a month off, and it only takes the morning.
