      <image:caption>I've had a lot of front porches in my life, but most recently my view was three volcanoes in Antigua, Guatemala. My husband, three children and I spent four years living and working there, and it could only be described as an incredible adventure. Now my porch overlooks a pond in rural Virginia, but it's just as much an adventure. Here's to always looking for the lessons I can find in the view from here.</image:caption>
