My best friend Katie has a wonderful husband named Dave. He's an avid biker. I've always wanted to take a ride on a motorcycle. However, I was always too scared. I finally gained the strength and courage to jump on the back of Dave's bike and go for a ride with him. I think that during that initial ride, I felt more free and peaceful than I could ever remember feeling in my life. It was the first of many more rides to come for me.
