Reflections in Time

Polar Dream

This is a picture of Helen Thayer author of 'Polar Dream' signing her book for me. She is now 71 and she and her husband are planning on living with the Masai tribe to learn about how they live and then they will walk some 600 miles 'alone' through Africa.
She walked and skied for 27 days in the Arctic, pulling a 160-pound sled for 364 miles in order to become the first woman and the oldest person at the age of 50 to travel on foot, unresupplied, to the magnetic North Pole. Her only companion was a 94 pound dog, Charlie, who was trained by the Inuit to warn of approaching polar bears.
Wow I was sooo inspired. Her message.....Set a goal, make a plan and do it!
