Fighting our Battles on our Own
Imagine. We’re on a boat drifting down a calm river. Suddenly, the wind picks up. Waves begin tossing us around. Boatloads of water are coming in the boat. In a panic, we grab a bucket and start scooping water overboard as fast as we can. We’re sweating and wearing ourselves out, convinced that if we…
Harbor of Hope
As we set foot in Bar Harbor, Maine — yay — back in the U.S.A. — we were greeted by the crisp ocean breeze and the stunning views of Frenchman Bay. This charming town had a way of weaving its beauty through our senses. The sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore, the…
