Another Turning Point or Déjà Vu
It was July 2016, 7 months after losing Lexie, when I set out in a kayak from Canada bound for Key West. Many of you followed along during that trip – Canada to Key West. The purpose of that trip was not to reach Key West, but to reach within and find out who I was – without Lexie.
