If I had to sum up this past year in one word, it would be “growth.” Not just the kind you can measure — like miles traveled or milestones reached — but the kind that happens quietly, when you step outside your comfort zone, try new things, and learn to slow down and appreciate the…
So as you may or may not know I love scuba diving. I was originally certified in 1988. I was a member of the local county dive team for a number of years until it disbanded. As life happens, I stepped away from diving to focus on raising my family and work. Now that my…
