Almost five years ago, my family and I took a leap of faith, packed up our lives and moved 4 hours away from comfort and stability. It was both an easy and a difficult decision to make. The easy part was the beautiful part of the country we were moving to, the life imagined of …
sĭm″bē-ō′sĭs noun Lichen have scientific names as though they are a species of organism, but actually lichen is a fungus and an alga living in a symbiotic relationship (both are benefited by living together.)
