WISDOM
Wisdom and Big Wind Day share a common thread: they both make you go, “Whoa!” Wisdom is like that sage advice from your grandma that always seems to hit the nail on the head.

I love the reminder of a windy day, not that we have too many here, but we did recently. Just standing outside, with the wind in my face, was magic.
