Terry M Brown shares how her 3,102-mile journey across America on a tandem bicycle transformed her life and taught her powerful lessons about resilience, presence, and embracing challenges. From escaping an abusive relationship to finding new purpose as an author, her story demonstrates how stepping outside your comfort zone can reveal strengths you never knew you had.

• Riding from Oregon to Washington DC on a tandem bicycle with her husband
• Overcoming physical and emotional challenges throughout the journey
• Learning to "never quit on a bad day" after pushing through difficult conditions
• Finding the courage to "do hard things" even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges
• Accepting that life's journey is rarely a straight line but rather a "tandem journey" filled with unexpected turns
• Struggling with and learning to appreciate the importance of staying present
• Discovering that success doesn't come from becoming someone else but from uncovering strengths already within
• Applying these life lessons beyond the bicycle journey to other challenges like grief and personal growth
• Converting the experience into "10 Little Rules for a Blissful-Butted Adventure" with guided journaling questions
• Finding healing and purpose through adventure after escaping a 14-year abusive relationship

If there's something big and bold you've been wanting to do, start taking steps toward it today. Don't keep your dreams on a bucket list—turn them into action plans and begin moving in that direction, because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
