🏄‍♀️ Ageless Adventure: Judy Myers' Remarkable Journey into Barefoot Skiing

At the age of 53, when most people might be content with their comfort zones, Judy Myers embarked on an adventure that would change her life forever. It all started with a dare from some friends—barefoot water skiing. Terrified but unable to resist a challenge, Judy took the plunge, quite literally, into the world of barefooting.

Fifteen years have passed since that dare, and Judy is not just a barefoot water skier; she's a trailblazing inspiration and the oldest female competitive barefoot water skier in the country.

One of the most touching aspects of Judy's journey is the way she has inspired others. She recalls the moment when she learned that she had motivated a woman who had lost her hearing to return to the sport. Judy's dedication and unwavering spirit served as a beacon of hope for this woman, reminding us all that the impact of our passions and pursuits can reach far beyond our own experiences.

Judy Myers is more than a barefoot water skier; she's a symbol of what can happen when we confront our fears head-on. Her story encourages us to never shy away from dares and challenges, to embrace new adventures, and to remember that our actions can inspire others to overcome their obstacles and dive back into life with enthusiasm.

Until tomorrow,

SPICY SHRIMP SALAD WITH MINT TO TRY

đź‘Ť Live Well Now Approved | High Protein | Low Carb

You Will Need:

2 pounds shrimp in the 15-to-30-a-pound range, peeled (deveined, if you like)

1 teaspoon minced garlic, or more to taste

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon cayenne, or to taste

1 teaspoon paprika

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice

30 to 40 mint leaves

6 cups arugula and other greens

Directions:

1. Preheat broiler; adjust the rack, moving it as close to the heat source as possible. Place a large ovenproof skillet or thick-bottomed roasting pan on the stove over low heat.

2. Combine the shrimp with garlic, salt, cayenne, paprika, half the olive oil and the 2 teaspoons of lemon juice; stir to blend. Turn heat under the skillet to high.

3. When skillet smokes, toss in shrimp. Shake the pan once or twice to distribute them evenly, then immediately place skillet in the broiler.

4. Mince about one-third of the mint, and set aside. Tear remaining leaves, and toss them with the arugula. Stir remaining olive oil and lemon juice together in a bowl.

5. The shrimp are done when opaque, usually 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate; it is fine if they cool for a moment. Add shrimp juices to olive oil-lemon juice mixture, and stir. Dress the greens with this mixture, and toss; if the greens seem dry, add a little more olive oil or lemon juice, or both. Place greens on a platter, and arrange shrimp on top or around them; garnish shrimp with the remaining minced mint.
