I just finished Waves, Wind, and Wisdom: Volume II, and I had to reach out. From the quiet walks along Laguna Madre to the unexpected lessons of RV living, I was deeply moved by the way you captured life’s fleeting beauty and the wisdom found in stillness.
What really struck me was how organically you wove travel, reflection, and life lessons together. The beaches of South Padre Island and the wind of Port Isabel weren’t just backdrops—they became characters in their own right, teaching patience, acceptance, and presence. I especially loved your musings about how detours often become more rewarding than the destinations themselves.
