What Do You Love Most about Travel?
/ Autumn McKenzie Jackson
There are so many great things about travel. I could list many. So, instead of listing all the benefits of travel, I boiled it down to the single most important reason that I value travel.
For me, it all boils down to time. When I am on vacation, I feel like my time is my own. Travel is the perfect excuse to go off grid and off schedule. I can do whatever I want. What tremendous freedom! Time to do as I chose! Yes!
While I was at my brother Darrell’s life celebration in NY, there was a windstorm in Maryland. I received a text from my neighbor that they were calling the police
I don’t know exactly when I realized that I was scheduled to work the same day Audrey and I were to fly to Orlando, Fl for National Club Swimming Association (NCSA) Age Group Championships.
As I prepared for my brother’s life celebration, I found out that I had no way to prepare for what I experienced. I already have the utmost admiration for my brother, still, over the course of one afternoon at West Point…
I am certain I did not understand the full significance of what he wrote then nor do I now, but I knew enough to hold onto his letters.
I tend not to be awestruck, but my older brother, Darrell, is an exception. He is my superhero.
Being mothered is a universal experience. It is a life long process.
I am grateful for all those who have touched my life and continue to invest in me in this way. God is intentional.. It is out of the abundance of His love through others that compels me.
