Like everyone else, Sabine needs inspiration to continue to be the best she can be.
It is important to her to try new things, to add to her already colorful life.
The biggest inspiration came in the form of a 4 legged being.
Her name is Ricochet, a beautiful Golden Retriever from California.
She was raised to be a Service Dog for a person with a disability.
Ric was part of the Puppy Prodigies Neo- Natal & Early Learning
Program from the time she was 13 days old.
Sadly, she had to be released from her position as a service dog,
due to her strong instinct for chasing birds.
But, rather than focusing on what she can't do, her owner Judy focused on what she could do, which was to surf.
In 8 months she has raised for the disability community over $30,000 . Ricochet and her owner Judy continue with their efforts to fundraise through Ric's amazing surfing talent.
If you want to read about her unique and amazing story, go to her website:
And here is the video, which has inspired Sabine so much:
Life Without Limits
The Story Of The Spirit Dancer...
Artist And Motivational Speaker, Sabine Becker, presents:
This is a personal message to my Facebook friend Ricochet:
" Dearest Ricochet,
I know you have inspired millions all over the world.
And I am one of them.
What you taught me was immeasurably important! You taught me that it is ok to let go. You have tried to be a Service Dog, and because of your passion for chasing, you had to be released from your hard earned position as a dog assisting people with disabilities.
I have invested a lot of money and years of time in my current profession as a Realtor. But I am like you; chasing my passion, which is Motivational Speaking and making and selling my Spirit Dancers.
I learnt from you, my little Facebook dog friend, that in life you have to chase your passion, and not try to be something that you are not!
Regardless of what other people say, and regardless how difficult it seems to be at first.
You also taught me, that I am able to surf. You have set me up with http://www.ampsurf.org/, which is an organization which promotes, inspires, educates, and rehabilitates people with disabilities, especially veteran heroes through adaptive surfing & fun safe outdoor activities all can participate in.
Thanks to you 'Rip Curl Ricki', I'll be surfing with them this summer!
And I really hope to meet you during that time.
So, cute Surfer Girl, Thank You for helping me become who I was meant to be!
Much Love,
Your friend Sabine"
