This is the very tip of the island of
Šolta, Croatia…the place from which my paternal
great-grandfather began his voyage to America.
Leaving family, friends and everything
he knew to venture toward a new life and a new beginning took incredible courage.
Whenever I falter, hesitant about a new path my life can take, I think of this
place and him and this point...and I know I can move forward...to sail on…
