Would you put it all on the line for a dream… at the age of 77!? This is an amazing story of of a woman, who as a girl, picked beans in the segregated fields of the south. She went on to go to college, become a teacher, and teach for 50 years. And then at the age of 77, she made the decision to invest her entire life savings in her dream and started Estella’s Brilliant Bus.
Call it courage, guts, conviction, or whatever, when you feel the passion so strongly for something you find a way to totally commit to your dream and give it all you’ve got, and this is an amazing example of that in action.
You only live once, so the risk is worth it. The alternative is not taking it… and how would you really feel about that? It’s time to say a big “YES!”, so what will you say yes to?
