Rediscovery and Perspective
Full timing is all about new experiences and discovery. When we travel to a new place, see new sites, learn about new cultures and people, it has the potential to unlock something inside of us.
A Life Lesson from Mother Nature
Our brief “winter” will help us appreciate these long summer nights all that much more and allowed us to reflect on the importance of what you don’t want in life at times.
A Texas Sized View
Was an “unbelievable or amazing” sunset worth the risk of having “sketchy” neighbors nearby that made us feel unsafe?
