What is something you feel everyone should read?

I have three books in mind.  When I read the following list of books it was during a time that thinking outside of myself was important to my mental, spiritual, emotional development. Striving to further develop compassion and empathy as well as a firm understanding of my personal human experience.  So in that spirit, here are the books:  They are “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frank; “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom, “Wherever You Go There You Are” by Jon Kabatz-Zinn

What is a place that you would recommend that people visit that they have probably never heard of before?

Devils Millhopper State Park in Florida is a place to explore a sink hole that is surrounded by lush rainforest, and it is a short distance away from major cities in Florida making a great day trip. Cedar Key is another interesting place in Florida that has an intriguing history and a thriving fishing/ clam farming community.

Outside of Florida, I would encourage people to visit Black Mountain and Saluda, North Carolina, -- two small towns with big charm in the beautiful Smoky mountains. While it can get crowded, it is still a lot quieter than Asheville!

What is the next great place/event on your bucket list that you absolutely plan/want to visit/attend… and why?

The entire world…but I can start with closer to home such as the Grand Canyon, majestic Tetons, and then snag a puddle jumper to Alaska.
