I know that it has only been a week since my last blog post and the time we spent in Tasmania (Tassie) needs its own little shoutout! My only wish is that we had more time. Tasmania was the perfect way to cap off our eight incredible weeks in Australia. I am SO glad we […]

It has been a busy couple weeks since we arrived in Melbourne and a lot has happened in the world. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the atrocities that are currently happening in Minnesota as they hit very close to home. The acts of violence that are being committed against the people living […]
I thought it would be good to begin my first post of the new year with some intention setting. My heart’s intention is to continue courageously in the direction of my dreams! I feel like the following three images help to sum up those intentions. The rest of our time in Sydney was a glorious […]

We have had a busy and wonderful two and half weeks since I last wrote. There is just so much amazingness that Japan has to offer. We want to see and do it all, which we know is impossible. The biggest thing that has stood out to us as we’ve continued to be immersed in […]
We have been in Tokyo since the 20th and the thing that I have noticed more than anything is how quiet it is. Quiet in this case is an all-encompassing word. I’ve felt peace. I feel like my shoulders have come out of my ears and that I have been able to relax in a […]
These past couple weeks we have continued to receive disheartening new of things happening, not only globally but locally and personally as well. I have been working on finding the lessons in the gray and the joy in this season of uncertainty. In spite of all this, I am grateful for the nuggets of joy. […]
