"My life has been the peace I have been praying for. Being here has just shown me that there is more to life than just struggling, paying bills, and running on autopilot. Ghana has taught me the beauty of resting, slowing down, and building something meaningful instead of just chasing the next paycheck."

"Now that the files have been released and people are searching their next steps, sometimes the answer is not doing more, it is removing yourself from that which is draining you.
