When Roz Savage was in her mid-30s, she slammed the brakes on her life to take a look at the big picture. She sat down and wrote her own obituary. She read it over and over. Then she wrote what she wished her obituary would be.

She decided to make drastic changes in her life to be the person she wished she was.

"I had to do a major overhaul to my entire value system. I quickly realized life is not about what I owned, but what was between my ears. I began making gradual changes, but I kept an eye out for something I could do that would be jaw-dropping. I found it in rowing across the Atlantic."

She didn't stop there. She's currently trying to become the first woman to row solo across the Pacific. Now in her 40s, she hopes to be an example of what an ordinary person is capable of if they put their heart, mind and soul into it.

    Hello, 
     I've had the memorable experience of being one of Roz's commentors on her blog during her Pacific row last summer.  It was such a unique opportunity for me being an ocean lover as well.  I also learned from Roz that our oceans are in jeopardy due to an overabundance of plastic that has managed to pollute the water by becoming toxic. I am referring to plastic shopping bags, bottles, etc. The plastic does not decompose enough. Marine life has been consuming it by mistake and it winds up on your table for supper.  Her rowing across the ocean is an environmental wake up call.
