A VERY inspiring eclipse story



This. This right here. Please take 9 minutes out of your day (not necessarily today, but someday soon) to watch this inspiring story:
 
It features a woman named Liz who had stage 4 cancer and a 5 percent chance of living. Her daughter “imposed” a trip on her to see a total solar eclipse- as a “last hurrah” of her life. Liz wasn’t interested- she preferred “champagne and chocolates.”

Watch the video to see the amazing result. Notice that neither one of them were one of the “geeky” eclipse chasers.

THIS is the impact of a total solar eclipse. THIS is why I want people to put seeing a total solar eclipse someday on their bucket list, even if they can’t make it to this one in August.

THIS is why I want you to take a look at this map: http://xjubier.free.fr/tse2017map and tell ANYONE you know that lives in or near the path between the red lines about it. 

I’ll still encourage you to go to that path if you can make it this year. If you can’t make it this year due to time and/or financial issues- I hope, through this video and the other videos and stories on this blog, that I am inspiring you to see one someday. But anyone living close enough to that totality path who can drive (or be driven) there, watch the eclipse, have lunch, and drive back- all in the same day- should ABSOLUTELY take the minimal effort that it takes to go see this one.

This story is why. Thank you for reading this.
