Thank you.

Thank you.

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving All!

I am hope you are all surrounded by loved ones, new or old, and taking time to reflect on all the good that has come into your Life.

A recent article about my travels which was run my hometown newspaper, was picked up and ran by the Chicago Tribune.

Check it out here!  This is great and hopefully gives my trip some more credibility.  But in reading the article, I realize that I really dropped the ball on explaining how grateful I am for my life and the people in it.

I Love You All.

The success of the trip so far has really relied on the people whom I meet whom have taken me in and taken care of me.  I hope this is a small step in showing the goodness of people living in America!  Also, I really want to thank everyone in my life, whom has went out of their way to provide Love to my Life and guidance.  My family.  My teachers and coaches from high school.  My close friends from Michigan and Virginia, whom have been there for me in good times and bad.  And also to all the people whom I have met on my journey so far whom I would now call friends.

I am blessed and grateful for your Love and hope today greets you well!!!

Create Our World.
