Ride Sally Ride

Sally Ride became the first American woman in space in 1983. A trailblazer, Ride became one who has gone where few have gone, and as a woman she gives hope to women and girls that you can dream big and soar to great heights.

Dr. Ride died on Monday after a 17 year battle with pancreatic cancer.Ride made history in 1983 as a crew member on the space shuttle Challenger, breaking the gender barrier for U.S. spaceflight.

Ride made a second space shuttle flight in 1984, also aboard Challenger, and was in training for her third mission when Challenger exploded in 1986, killing all seven crew members. She left the space agency a year later, and served for years as a physics professor and director of the California Space Institute.

In 2001, she founded Sally Ride Science, a which is aimed at promoting math and science for girls. One of her projects was to develop a camera that could fly aboard spacecraft and take pictures for middle-school students. The fruits of those efforts include EarthKAM on the International Space Station and MoonKAM on the GRAIL lunar probes.

Today we pause and salute the work of Dr. Sally Ride and wish her God’s speed and she takes her final rest. I can hear the shouts of those young and old in fine fashion…”Ride Sally Ride” http://bit.ly/O6LVws

Personal Mission Statement

Do you have a Personal Mission Statement? If not why? If so what does it say about you and your life. If you do not have a Personal Mission Statement consider going to this site to work on the creation and development of one: http://www.franklincovey.com/msb/missions/personal/3

I am working on my Personal Mission Statement from this Franklin Covey site and encourage you to join me in this effort. Please share your Personal Mission with others and use it as a springboard to your next level in life. This is your MISSION if you choose to accept it! Go forward and do great things!

Thursday Thinking by YoTrip for July 12,2012-The Greatest Love of All (Vol.7, Iss.2)

BT Artbox – The Greatest Love of All (Photo credit: Karen Roe)

As a believer I know that Jesus is Love and there is no love greater that His love for all in and of this world. In celebration of the children in this month of July, recognize them as a present and a gift. The children are our lasting legacy, make sure you do your part to honor who they are and what they have to offer.

The Greatest Love Of All

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

“The Greatest Love of All” is a song written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed and originally recorded by George Benson for the 1977 Muhammad Ali biopic The Greatest. The song was later popularized by Whitney Houston. Creed wrote the lyrics in the midst of her struggle with breast cancer. The words describe her feelings about coping with great challenges that one must face in life, being strong during those challenges whether you succeed or fail, and passing that strength on to children to carry with them into their adult lives. Creed eventually succumbed to the disease in April 1986 at the age of 36; at the time her song was an international hit by Whitney Houston. http://bit.ly/NlhTRI

The Children…Make the Difference

This above statement is so powerful and speaks volumes today and always. Children are a gift and we need to do our part to honor them as the treasures that they are in our lives. What are you doing, have you done, or can you do to make the difference in the life of a child?

Thursday Thinking by YoTrip for July 5, 2012-Arthur Ashe-A Champion Game-Changer (Vol.7,Iss.1)

A Historic Game-changer: Arthur Ashe AP

On July 5, 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first black man to win Wimbledon, defeating Jimmy Connors in a shocking upset.

Ashe accomplished a great many firsts in his tennis career. He was the first African-American to win the National Junior Indoor tennis title and the first to be selected to the United States Davis Cup team. In 1968, he became the first black man to win the United States Open.

In 1975, the 31-year-old entered Wimbledon as the No. 6 seed. Connors was the heavy favorite, having destroyed his opponents in his march toward the title match. http://nyti.ms/Nr520w
