moving journey

This article captures the start of a transformative journey as I leave Maine, a place that reignited my sense of home, and begin the road trip back to San Diego. Along the way, I reflect on the connections I’ve built, the memories I’m carrying, and the exciting plans for my next chapter in New England. From a heartfelt farewell breakfast in Portland to anticipated reunions with lifelong friends and colleagues across the country, the road ahead is not just about miles—it’s about growth, community, and embracing change. This is more than a journey; it’s the prelude to a new beginning.
