Questions of the Week:

I got a tip from an established writer to try out a few weeks with a shorter question of the week section. “See how much value you can bring in as few as 10 sentences or less,” he said. It sounded like a fun challenge, and he also thought it would create a more proportional flow from one section to the next. Let’s try it out.

Hope you are having a great start to your week!

Have you ever been somewhere and seen something that takes your breath away? Would you live there?

I do.

My travel itch has returned this week as friends and family keep sending me exciting updates from weddings, vacations, and other reasons for globe-trotting. My cousin-in-law (is that a thing?) got married in Greece, my college roommate was in a different part of Greece, and my best friend just got back from Scotland.

Something I always notice and appreciate is how familiar these places look even though I have never been to them. “That looks like… in Vermont.” I love being surrounded by the lake, the mountains, and everything in between. Do you love where you live? I think it should take your breath away.

Live where you love this Monday.
