I read a quote somewhere recently that said: "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Climb mountains not so the world can see you, but so you can see the world."
That's how I have always tried to live my life and somehow I've been blessed enough to make it my vocation.
It has been…

My least favorite thing to pick is green beans. There are always too many, and they camouflage themselves superbly. When I miss…
