SO PROUD

This is Casey's facebook post from yesterday.

Hard to believe on this day 4-years ago I logged my 1st hour of flight time and began my journey in aviation. Today, 400-hours of logged flight time later, I've flown solo to Key West and back, rescued a beagle in Fort Myers with one of my best friends, flown my wife and I to Chattanooga, Nashville and Roanoke, landed at a Class Bravo airport (KCLE) with another best friend of mine, flown my father-in-law to Flagler Beach, flown my mom, Audrey Gallagher Fish Pfeifer, from Roanoke to Charleston and back, obtained my instrument rating and am halfway through training for my commercial certificate. I'm eager to continue pursuing my dream and see what the future holds. Thanks to everyone that has provided me with mentoring, support and motivation throughout this process. It's been one of the most challenging and rewarding endeavors of my life!

I could not be any more proud of you or happy for you, Casey. You've succeeded in past endeavors and I know that you will take this journey to the TOP! I see how your eyes light up when you talk aviation. My heart is full for you that you are living your dream. ♥ Mom

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
