On a gloomy spring day in the Tetons, SheJumps co-founder Lynsey Dyer asked herself a few questions to cheer up, then she asked me. Writing down your dreams is the best way to make them come true. Ask yourself these questions and e-mail us the answers at info@shejumps.com. We'll post them here.
Get your head in the clouds!
