Love your stories, keep them coming!

I also noticed and appreciated the same while I was in Thailand and other amazing places... but always the same when I return to the U.S. What a shift it would be if everyone in the US was able to open their eyes to a new way of living life... letting life flow instead of always swimming upstream.
