…the dusty realms of other lands…
This life has taken me to many unexpected places. It has introduced me to folks I most likely would’ve never had the opportunity to meet had I kept to “my lane.” I have the deepest of gratitude for the many kind friends who’ve walked with me a little ways along the path. Good friends and kind strangers (new friends) make even the dustiest of far away realms feel like home.
