This morning, I’m sitting quietly at our #Florida This morning, I’m sitting quietly at our #Florida home with a cup of @communitycoffee , watching the sun rise through the moss-draped trees. The temperature is mild, the birds are beginning their morning songs, and for a few moments, the world feels still.

I found myself wondering what the newly announced @dollyparton Community Coffee blend, “Cup of Ambition,” tastes like. I have a feeling I could use a little extra ambition these days.

I think it’s finally sinking in that this summer season looks very different than the past few years. Changes at the winery and an unpredictable cottage rental season in #Maine have added an unexpected layer of uncertainty. Life is beautiful, and I am deeply thankful for our many blessings, but even the best-laid plans sometimes don’t unfold the way we hoped.

Today, I don’t have all the answers. Today, I’m simply trying to let go and let God.

My time in Italy was meaningful in ways I am still unpacking. It wasn’t just an adventure. It was a chance to step away from everyday life and see things more clearly. I realized how much pressure I place on myself to be everything for everyone. The truth is, I’m getting a little older, and maybe it’s time to slow down a bit and stop carrying so much.

I’ve learned firsthand what stress can do to a person (have you read my book?), and I’ve also learned the healing that comes from stepping away from what no longer serves you. Since leaving my career in the Louisiana fire service, I’ve been remarkably healthy, and that says a lot.

So this morning, as the sun rises over the trees and the coffee warms my hands, I’m reminding myself to embrace this season, finish the projects waiting patiently for me, write more, and most importantly, find the joy again.

I have a feeling it’s still there, waiting for me. ☕️🌅

Y’all know I Iike to shop. And take lots of photos Y’all know I Iike to shop. And take lots of photos. When in Vatican City, I came across several exclusive Vatican treasures and one-of-a-kind keepsakes that simply can’t be found anywhere else in the world.
A Goodnight from Vatican City After weeks of wind A Goodnight from Vatican City

After weeks of winding roads, ancient cities, seaside villages, vineyards, and unforgettable moments, we have arrived at the final stop of our grand tour of Italy: Rome.

From my window, I have a beautiful up-close view of Vatican City and St. Peter’s Basilica, the heart of the Holy See. It feels like the perfect place to pause, reflect, and give thanks before our journey carries us back home.

Travel has a way of reminding us how vast the world is, yet how connected we all are through history, faith, family, and love. Soon, I will light a candle inside St. Peter’s Basilica in memory of those I have loved and lost. Though they are no longer walking beside me, they have been part of every step of this journey.

As this Italian adventure draws to a close, my heart is full…of gratitude, memories, and the quiet reminder that every ending is also the beginning of a new chapter.

Rome, you are a fitting finale.

Golden hour in Tuscany. As the sun slips behind t Golden hour in Tuscany.

As the sun slips behind the vines, the world seems to slow down. The conversations soften, the air cools, and for a moment, nothing is urgent.

Just the glow of the vineyard.
Just the beauty of being here.
