“On occasion, life has allowed me to live in, & experience, Safety... and for me, Safety is a place of true Freedom, made possible, only with the love of Family. Family includes, the loved ones, and friends that we meet in our time here…Nature is a healing space that allows us to Live, and just, Be…Pausing the moments between the seconds, granting deep meditation, Peace, and stillness. In places where nature, culture, and community achieve harmony, humanity receives its best medicine…KM”
