I’ve visited places this year that have had a profound impact on me. As the New Year approaches, it seemed fitting to reflect back on these places and what I’ve learnt.

My own town taught me that there is magic in the ordinary. Don’t overlook it or take it for granted.

The Florida beaches taught me to just let things flow and that there’s no problem salt water and a cool breeze can’t fix.

Roatán taught me that there’s nothing more important than family. The bonds we break and the bonds we make are equally important parts of the fabric we weave throughout our lives. They not only make us who we are, but challenge us to be better than our pasts.

Puerto Rico taught me the importance feeling grounded & connected to your roots. When in doubt, return to the people and places that feel most like home.

South Carolina taught me everything love could be if you just give it a chance. I was reminded that love is not only a choice, but a verb, one that we must actively participate in if we are to see the seeds of love truly blossom into something as strong as a 400 year old oak tree.

Utah taught me the importance of authenticity and freedom. Listen to that vibration in your soul, it’s usually trying to tell you that you’re on the right path. Don’t be afraid of change and never lose your sense of adventure.

As 2023 approaches, I intend on continuing to visit beautiful places and
discover more about, not only the world around me, but myself.

Until then, I’ll leave you all with this: Be good, take care of each other, and when you’re faced with the opportunity to make a difference & be a source of light in the world, do it.
Wishing you the happiest of New Years.
Go, be great.
