This is from a gorgeous sunrise on the Oregon Coast surrounded by good friends. I’d been here before, but it was a first for them.

Morning is my favorite time. I love the clean, fresh air and the way it acts as a reset switch on whatever happened the day before.

That said, the things that came before are not that different from what is yet to come. With every Day, Week, Month and Year that pass, I’m learning to embrace the challenges- the Obstacles - if you will, and know that they are the things shaping who I am, and what strength I bring to the next challenge.
