Sunday’s Saying — from Diana Nyad
“This weekend is my magical moment. I can’t imagine any other ending than making it to the other shore.”
- Diana Nyad

If you want something exciting to happen in your life … believe in yourself and dream big! But don’t stop there, process, plan, ask for help, prepare, train and then make it happen … because you can!
UPDATE from Diana’s blog: After more than 40 hours of swimming and two Portuguese Man-of-War stings, Diana Nyad decided to end her swim today at 11am.
The blog also says, “From the water, she called out to her flotilla of four escort boats and addressed each of them in a strong voice. “The medical team said I should not go another two nights in the water and risk additional likely Man-of-War stings which could have a long term cumulative effect on my body.”
Love this quote from her!
“But for each of us, isn’t life about determining your own finish line? This journey has always been about reaching your own other shore no matter what it is, and that dream continues.”
