After road tripping over the last week from Nashvi After road tripping over the last week from Nashville to Wilmington and Charlotte North Carolina and then down to Southern Tennessee, I wanted to showcase some of the connections that have made life so uniquely special. Some of these connections are from my childhood, others from Kauai, and some through 6 degrees of separation. 🌟 Just a reminder that every person we meet adds a new hue to our tapestry. Some threads sparkle, some strengthen, some surprise—but all make the ride unforgettable. 🚀✨ Of course, not everyone is pictured here, but thanks to all for being on the wild, magic carpet ride with me! BTW, I included some of the detours that were inspired by these encounters. Here’s to looking up and taking the detours!
