I’m thinking I should take more risks. That I should step outside the box and just go with things that speak to my soul. I always envied the woman that was going to wear a purple hat when she got old. Why? I could wear a purple hat if I wanted to . But something [...]

We took this photo on a boat to Green Island, Australia. Brianna was mesmerized by the ocean, the sharks and the other incredibly friendly passengers. Only later when I was analyzing the photo did we notice the details! The Road Less Traveled… Freedom… Ocean Freedom…
