I've already explained what kind of vacation suits me. What others see as “exhausting,” I see as relaxing. Whoever is with me has the opportunity to see things that everyone can, many fantasize, but few achieve. At least I'm mansplaining that to myself. My son and I connected Corpus Christi Day with a weekend and... Continue Reading →
I've touched this topic once before in one of my previous articles, but I honestly don't think we talk about enough, and even less living it. Not as individuals but as a community.
