Disconnecting
Sometimes you need to get away from your everyday surroundings to gain a bit more clarity. I spent this past weekend up in the mountains with some friends, and had one of those clarity moments.

Carolina Cruisin’ Snapshots
Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living. – Mary Ritter Beard Getting away from the routine of life always refreshes me, causing me to grow and reflect inwardly. Here are a few shots from my most recent adventure…
