When Our Choices Happen to Others We want to build lives that speak to who we are at our core. At the same time, if you have been here for a while, you know how much community matters (to me personally, and to us as we navigate our lives). Community is a verb, and in this episode of Lucky to Be Here, we get a glimpse of what being the first of in one feels like. This week we travel around the world with Nicole Moreno-Deinzer, who decided to embark on her year across the world. We talk about...
