The first half of 2021 brings Andrew to a crossroads. With novel completing, grocery delivering, class teaching, family supporting, and life living demands pulling him in multiple directions, he reckons with the realization that “living the dream” isn’t always what it’s made out to be. Insight from others who’ve pursued their passion, however, convinces him that the effort required to reach your goals pays off in the end. At least, he desperately hopes it does.
