travel highs lead to post travel blues, yet I'm finding meaning in this crazy life
“Appreciate all that you have before wanting more” I live a ridiculously good life. I am grateful. My connections are meaningful, I work hard, I do meaningful things in my career, in my relationships and family. I have so many pleasures, I have so much […]
