Years ago during my military years #military black #travelwithme2024 #shareyourthoughts Fort Moore

2024/12/16 Edited to

During my time in the military, I had the privilege of serving at Fort Moore, a key location for training and operations. The experience not only honed my skills but also fostered a deep appreciation for camaraderie and resilience. Military service instilled values such as discipline and teamwork, which have been beneficial in my travels. Travel enables a unique perspective on life that is enriched by diverse cultures. As I embark on new adventures, I carry with me the lessons learned from my military days, such as adaptability and respect for different lifestyles. This blend of military awareness and passion for travel fosters a deeper understanding of the world and its inhabitants. Whether it’s connecting with fellow veterans during travels or exploring off-the-beaten-path locations, the journey continues. Embrace travel as a way to share thoughts and experiences with a global community, enriching both personal growth and social connections in our evolving world.

Is it rude to draw during church?

I grew up in a pretty religious house hold and fell out of religion quite quickly when given the opportunity after. Around 10 years later I found my self returning to church when my husband found interest in a new sector. It’s very similar to what I grew up with but in a style that fits much better
