Cross-Country Road Trip Reflections
Being back from this cross-country road trip has been bittersweet. There's a part of me that really misses the open road. The not knowing where we'd end up each day, what we would see, and who we would meet. I also deeply miss the people we met along the way. Kind, warm, true-to-nature, genuine, salt of the earth folks. Meeting people like this was something I'd long been craving. True, authentic connections. Who (and what) we (choose to) surround ourselves with impacts and greatly influences us in many ways. These types of connections are food for the soul.
