Amelie, a gentle little soul with a great spirit of adventure.

I told little Amelie the story of Amelia Mary Earhart (1897-1937), the American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic ocean and has set many other records. Fascination with her life and amazing career continues to this day.

‘Am I named after Amelia Earhart?’ Amelie wants to know. ‘No, not really, my dear. I picked the name before you were born but I can definitively see a great spirit of adventure in you’, I tell her. And then I don’t see or hear anything from Amelie for a while….what is she up to?

Go for it, Amelie! Follow your ideas and dreams; it might be scary at times and you might have to take a few risks, you might fail but you can only grow.

I’m so proud of you, Amelie!
