FINAL thoughts...
These luxuries are beyond amazing; but for me, it’s the clean air, abundant water, ideal climate year around, wide open spaces to breathe in and explore the awe and wonder of the pristine majesty all around. It is the ability to live our lives free and respectfully, the abundant bounty of the sea and land, and most of all the Spirit- the Spirit of our Creator and the Spirit of Alaska and its people. This makes it one of the most ideal places on earth to enjoy and succeed in raising healthy, motivated, bold–yet humble, adaptive children with Alaskan sized dreams. My wish for you is that you enjoy this little piece of paradise as much as I have.
