Keisha’s Letter to You
Upon the eve of their spaceflight, everyone who utilizes our CA Program is invited to write a letter to our audience, a community that very much resembles the heart and ambition of the person about to realize their collective dream and experience the Overview Effect. Previous letters have gotten views in the millions and are part of a legacy established by these pioneers of the human experience.
Here is Keisha in her own words, written to you - the ones who dare to dream. Take it away Keisha.
As a child, I dreamt of going into space, becoming an astronaut, exploring, and traveling through the galaxies. I was a very quiet child, always in my thoughts, although I didn’t share much, I was fascinated with anything to do with space or fantasies of space travel, superheroes, and all the Marvel films. I was definitely a dreamer and I wanted my kids to have a great example. As a young adult mother, I began to learn how to take action in my life toward my goals.

My story is one of manifestation. I want to inspire others to go beyond fear, to be adventurous, and to also dream.
There were lots of things I wanted to do, places I wanted to travel. Passion and determination have been my driver. I have been so blessed to have explored an amazing life and to be surrounded by good people who are my friends and family.
I study the laws of the universe and I wanted to learn more and to explore. I could see there is magic all around us and the evidence is to witness our planet and all the life she holds. To live on a huge living ball that is floating in a big mass of darkness in a universe that sustains itself is such a miracle. It shows we are all magic.
I learned to expand my mindset, to be more positive, to be kinder, even more loving, and to live by faith, trust, appreciation and gratitude. Life keeps getting better the more appreciation there is.
Learning about energy, the universe, and laws of attraction is all great, but the best is to experience it all for oneself. To actually go into space. This is the greatest adventure.
I am so lucky to be chosen as the winner of the Omaze sweepstakes benefiting Space for Humanity. To have this opportunity with Virgin Galactic, and to be able to experience it with my daughter as well. It is almost beyond my dreams as a child. It is such an honor to be the first person from my country and to represent many more who will also have a chance to go to space as well.

There is a strong connection to the exploration of the universe and this is only the beginning, going into space, even for a moment just to see the overview from a different perspective.
We must never stop dreaming, we are the creators of our life and through the vibration of our desire, we can manifest what we want. I encourage others to never give up, the universe is listening and our hearts will guide us, just listen and take action every day. It takes one step at a time to reach closer to your goal.
The most important is to keep working on ourselves, to improve our minds, to open up in self-awareness, becoming healthier and stronger so that we can become better and happier persons for ourselves, our community, and our planet.
Earth is our home and we must protect her and to do that we first must be healthy in our minds, actions, and being. When we are healthy, we can be kinder, more loving beings to one another, and manifest appreciation for this world.
Yours Truly,
Keisha
