Thank you for all you do Dr Jane Goodall

Dear Dr. Goodall,

Last week I had the pleasure of hearing you speak live in my adopted country, Costa Rica. As always, your speech was inspirational and heartwarming and I left feeling like I could do anything. Like millions of other adventure seeking, animal loving, bleeding heart women…YOU are my inspiration. Because of you I know that one person can make a difference and that no dream is too big.

Because of you
I don’t find pleasure in buying the latest fashion or fighting the crowds on black Friday. Instead, I enjoy buying new ropes for the sloths to practice climbing or snake proof boots for hiking in the rainforest.

Because of you
I don’t find pleasure in waiting in line to gain entrance to the newest club while painfully wearing high heels. Instead, I prefer waiting while steadily holding my camera, trying not to blink so I don’t miss the next great shot.

Because of you
I don’t find pleasure in reading gossip columns and wondering how a certain celebrity looks while walking their dogs. Instead, I prefer reading scientific journal articles and popular science articles about life’s biggest mysteries.

Because of you
I don’t define myself based on my relationship status or whether I have children. Instead, my biggest goals in life are to publish books, make scientific discoveries and most importantly save animal lives.

Because of you
I don’t get excited about making money or spending money. Instead, I get excited about making a difference and spending quality time in nature.

But most importantly…
Because of you I’m not afraid to be bold…go after my dreams…and fight for what I believe in.

Thank you so much for everything you have done to make this world a better place.

My favorite quote from your recent speech was this, “Every single person has an impact on the world around them every single day and you have a choice. What kind of impact are you going to have?”

Because of you Jane, I am trying my best to make sure my impact is positive…and if I can accomplish just 1% of what you have accomplished in your 81 years of life…that would be a dream come true.

Happy Birthday Dr. Jane Goodall!
