Living in the United States, the Middle East these days isn’t exactly the it summer vacation destination, but I’m here to tell you in this four-part blog series recapping our recent trip to the region that it is well worth keeping on the table. I’m a little biased when it comes to journeying to the Holy Land. Both of […]
Nothing is off the table if you’re passionate and put yourself first. Our dreams are part of who we are, and certainly no job should keep you from you.
