I was so glad to be back in New Orleans and excited for what my upcoming week held. The weather felt amazing, and the first evening there, I was excited to walk around as much as possible after being in the plane all day. We ate at Buffa’s for dinner and then walked all around the French Quarter and as far down as the river walk took us and ended up at this fountain. I was amazed at how much had changed in my life just after a little less than a year of being here the last time. I think that is one reason why traveling is so important — taking yourself out of your every day living arrangements and environment takes all those distractions and habits away so that all you see is yourself for who you are and you realize that all you have is what you’ve made of yourself, and it’s in these moments it’s easy to see how much you’ve grown.
