I live in Colorado Springs—but after missing the total eclipse in 2017, I promised myself I wouldn’t let this one pass me by.
So I booked a same-day flight to Dallas–Fort Worth, touching down the morning of April 8, 2024, with one singular goal: to stand in the path of totality and witness this celestial spectacle with my own eyes.
And wow.
When the sky dimmed, the temperature shifted, and the sun slipped completely into shadow… time seemed to pause. The world went quiet. Collective gasps rippled through the crowd. It was fleeting—just minutes—but utterly unforgettable.
I flew back home that very night and crawled into my own bed by 2am… exhausted, buzzing, and completely unable to sleep. My mind was still up in the sky, replaying that moment of awe again and again.
Some experiences stay with you for a long while.
This one? I think it always will. ✨
