  Truly Inspirational

  11/10/2010

  As one faithful blogger wrote regarding Jessica Watson: Every so often, the Universe presents humankind with a soul uniquely qualified to uplift and inspire others simply with the goodness of their being. You are most definitely one such special soul, kind lady.
  
  I followed Jessicas adventure daily by way of her blog and I was immersed in her story from before she set sail until long after her grand homecoming in Sydney Harbor where she was welcomed by 100,000 well wishers. True Spirit doesnt just revisit the great memories that I have of her adventure. It builds on those memories and heightens the emotions that I experienced while following her voyage. In True Spirit, Jessica vividly conveys the beauty and the peace that the sea has to offer as well as its tempestuous power and the respect that it demands. As you read True Spirit, you will feel the wide range of emotions that Jessica experienced during her 210 day solo, non-stop circumnavigation aboard a 34 sailboat. Youll laugh, youll cry, youll experience anxiety, and youll feel your adventurous spirit soar. And above all, you will most definitely be uplifted by Jessicas incredible warmth, positive attitude and indomitable passion to live her dream. True Spirit is one of the most inspirational stories that you will ever have the pleasure of reading.
