An Uncle, A Best Friend % » Wonder Wander Wildflower

My uncle, my mom (his sister) and I were all born within 10 days of each other. Because of this we spent the first half of August celebrating each one of us in turn. Because of this, we were dubbed the “Leo Trio” thus banding us together for life.

My uncle Rick moved to France when I was about 15 and I have traveled there often to see him, making Paris feel like a home away from home. When I visit we drink wine while contemplating life, planning out our futures and journal in silence together. He is such a companion to my soul.

So, when I had the chance to visit him recently I took some video to capture both the peace and joy he brings to my life.

Enjoy!

So nice to meet you! I grew up in the fields and forests of Lexington, Ohio, but I have proudly called the creative city of Columbus, Ohio my home for the last 10+ years. Likely, if you've landed here, you know me from season 18 of ABC's The Bachelor. Learn more of my story under the About tab above or by clicking on this photo.

For your consideration: The more you hear from me, the more you will realize how dreadful I am at spelling. Yes, even with spell check. Yes, even with words I should be able to spell at age 30. SO, if you catch a spelling error in one of my posts (which is 100% certain to happen) and you let me know in the comments, I will give you editing credits in the post! People supporting people ya know? - Thanks in advance!
