Ooh wait, yes that’s right, I am not and never was, destined for a simple life…

Walking the more complicated life path more often than not, leads us to great life lessons, directing us closer and closer to our true essence, our true selves. In my experience, wisdom is rarely gained when we sit back and choose easy.
