#183: Wanna Get High? (Friday, July 2)

As humans, one of the things that separates us from the other animals is our ability to choose. Every day, we impact our lives and our futures with each choice we make. Where you are today is a direct result of the choices you've made up to this point.

Today, I want you to choose. There's one person who needs your votes, and she needs it by tomorrow.

Sylvia High is, in one word, phenomal. Her honesty, her stories, her words...everything about her is inspiration. She tells it like it is, but she's not unkind. Within four days of meeting this woman, I'd gone from promising myself I was going to go running, to running every day. I'd gone from writer's block to new ideas and new possibilities. So vote for her on the My Own Show competition on Oprah.com and vote more than once (I already voted 50 times). The deadline is tomorrow, July 2.
