The real magic happens when these relationships turn into lifelong friendships, independent of our jobs or our companies. Friendships where that person has moved on, retired, changed paths and you still connect, confide in and nourish the relationship because it has evolved to a soulful kinship. Call me old school, but I am hard pressed to imagine cultivating the depth of relationships I have been blessed to have over the past 30 years via email or zoom. There is no replacement for being there. And for that, I am grateful. The countless memories and humorous incidents while traveling the world could be its own book. I look forward to creating many more memories and watching this next generation embrace the wonderful world that is now free to explore again. Take it all in and enjoy the journey!
