“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In 1994, I needed “something to tell the grandchildren.” So, I signed up to do a bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. And although many a people laughed, I completed the 7 day, 585 mile, journey. And since then, in support of the fight against the AIDS pandemic, I have completed a total of 8 cycling journeys to Los Angeles.
My AIDSLifeCycle Story

In 1996, I had an idea of cycling the “South of France.” And although many a people laughed, I completed a solo bicycle tour in France. This tour covered Troyes, Chanttillon, Dijon, Dole, Besancon, Nimes, Montpellier, Beziers, Carcassonne, Toulouse, Montauban, Cahor, Brive, and Limoges, France.

In the year 2000, I enrolled in a 2yr. Advanced Yoga Teacher Training Program at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco. And although many a people laughed, I completed the two years of training. And since then, I have put down the Chardonnay and become a seasoned student of Yoga and an Iyengar Yoga Teacher.

And now, I have chosen to reach out to Oprah Winfrey. So, I created An Invitation to the Oprah Winfrey Network” And although many a people laugh, I continue with my journey.

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” –Apple Computer

So, as you go through your daily life, don’t laugh at the dreams of others because, it’s from the seed of a dream that beautiful gardens grow (smile).
