What Are You Afraid Of
Here’s a fun fact about me…I am terrified of the ocean. I love to see it, hear it, wade in it, and be by it. But I have a great fear of being IN it. I am a mountain girl, who likes my feet on solid ground. I like control, meaning I like to see […]
Get Out In It
“If you want to learn about the world, get out in it” ~Mae (a fabulous 4th grader) How do you define ‘comfort zone’?
