After a Life-changing Trip to Coastal Mississippi, I Underwent a Major Health Scare. Here's How the Power of Travel Helped Me Heal.
Briefly

"When Michelle, my Lyft driver, pulled up outside Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, she greeted me like I was an old friend... ‘Let me help you,’ she said..."
"...something clapped in my head and before I could place my hand where I felt the thunder, the floor and walls were above me..."
"Today, one year later, I've fought to regain my strength, my ability to write, and my sense of self. I live with short-term memory loss..."
"But this is what coastal Mississippi taught me: that to be creative is to hope. Those four days... are my last long-term memory."
