~Video Version~ ------------------------------ I will never forget watching this, live on TV, Nik Wallenda walking across Niagra Falls on a wire. His dad coached him the whole time through a mic system, speaking encouragement into Nik’s earpiece, keeping his heart light, thankful for each step. You’ve been there, right?
