Friday Flow- Learning To Let Go And Grow
Twenty years ago, I thought I’d be retired from the United States Marines. I pictured myself as the Marine who traveled the world, deployed to combat zones, and acted like that badass you see in the movies. Instead, my years as a Marine consisted of death, addiction, and valuable life lessons that forced me to hang up my uniform after ten years of honorable service.
