I absolutely love how you portrayed our amazing Strip and Dip - warrior women all together celebrating live.... from small ripples come big waves - we call it the ripple effect. Thank you so much Dena this piece is incredible. Featherstone

Love this. As a breast cancer survivor, this makes me want to join you in Ireland! Or organize a Strip and Dip here on Whidbey Island in Washington. We have plenty of beaches! And a chilly Salish Sea.

Hi Barbara now here is a coincidence I flew back from Vancouver last weekend and got chatting to a lovely lady on the plane and guess what, she was from Whidbey Island in Washington. We spent a day of our trip in Washington on Whiskey Creek Beach. Well now you have a perfect excuse to come visit and join us in Ireland next year. Every year we have around 10 ladies from the US that join us and they love it.

And… to add to the conversation, I just got back from a trip to Whidbey, where I swam in a very cold lake and saw the Northern Lights, of all things! What a lovely place. I hope to be back.
