Last week we planned on being in Maine. However, t Last week we planned on being in Maine. However, that didn’t work out. So we did a bit of pivot with brainstorming and found daily direct flights from Orlando to Nassau @theislandsofthebahamas - we booked seats on the next departing flight and spent a couple of days with toes in the sand. Not a bad way to enjoy my morning coffee! #travelwriter #travel #bahamas
11 years ago I wasn’t sure if I would get another 11 years ago I wasn’t sure if I would get another sunrise, another sunset, another hug from my loved ones. Today I am THANKFUL and GRATEFUL to have 11 years of this 2nd Life. What a blessing!!!! 🥰
12 Years This embrace was captured right after we 12 Years
This embrace was captured right after we shared our vows under the Burnside Oak at @houmashouse - we stopped in  the Turtle Bar for a private moment as we were walking to sign our marriage license before our luncheon in the Carriage House. It was a beautiful and sunny day surrounded by close family. 

Happy Anniversary @dalpozzal ❤️🥂🍾

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. ☕️🌅
