As the year comes to a close, I invite you to join me for a heartfelt reflection on a year filled with personal growth, change, and adventure. In this episode, I take you through the final leg of my transformative 33-day road trip. A journey that stretched across breathtaking national parks, reconnected me with my military upbringing and reminded me of the profound beauty of human connection.   I’ll share stories from the Grand Teton and Yellowstone, encountering wildlife and marveling at nature’s majesty, as well as revisiting my roots at Ellsworth Air Force Base after nearly 50 years. These experiences gave me new perspectives on my past, my relationship with my father, and the ways nature grounds me spiritually.   This episode also dives into the lessons I’ve learned from embracing conversations with strangers and how this trip has reshaped my view of life, community, and even home. Along the way, I’ll reflect on how longer vacations offer opportunities to disconnect to reconnect with what truly matters, providing the clarity and perspective needed to embrace life more fully.   If you’re seeking inspiration for your own journey, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, or just need a moment to reflect on the beauty of life’s twists and turns, this episode is for you.    Let’s wake up and pay attention together.
