    Hey friends,It’s been a little while. I had a minor surgery that slowed me down for a few weeks, but I’m happy to say I’m finally feeling like myself again!Before my surgery, I traveled to Eleuthera, Bahamas with my family, and I wanted to share my real thoughts about this island.Think: Pink sand beaches. Empty roads. Tiny beach bars. And some of the clearest water I’ve ever seen.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9pNo!,f_auto,q_auto:good,f
