The Benefit of a Fresh Perspective

Oct 16, 2014 | Mindset

I have had both the joy and the opportunity to vacation in Nags Head, NC for the past 23 years.  This year, we decided to go parasailing.  While being suspended, I was able to see the island of Nags Head as an island.  I saw the Kitty Hawk dunes where the Wright Brothers launched their plane.  I saw the beauty of the island from another vantage point.
