Amazing Race Shout Out! My ultimate Dream!

I am posting this fun clip I took while climbing, hiking and running in Zions National Park!  For the past 6 years it has been my most ultimate dream to be on the Amazing Race.  At first it started out with a quest to win the million dollars, but has turned into a desire to do what I dare and to dream big dreams.  Nothing sounds more fun to me than traveling to new countries, trying different challenges that revolve around the culture, and competing against others for the title of winner and a cash prize of $1,000,000.  I have had many people tell me to stop applying (I have applied like 7 times) because I travel already to new countries and places about 9times out of the year.  They say give up on the dream, but my heart says "No!"  It isn't only about traveling and money...it is about sticking with a dream.  It is about the joy of competing and trying new challenges and obstacles that you wouldn't normally do. 

Life is so much like the Amazing Race!  You have times of joy and excitement, but there are also many days you feel like you have no control and you lose your cool and yell at your best friend, lover, or family member.  Life's about the journey...not just the great times, but also the long rolling vistas in between when things can be tough.  I believe if you can get through the process of applying against all odds, get on the race and compete well, then you are setting yourself up for a pretty dang good life!  So hears to continual applications and the dream that I will get a phone call that says, "Hello Danette, this is ______from the Amazing Race and we would love to set up a time to meet you.  When can you fly to LA?"
