Around the world and into truth

Let me say this loud: I did not plan this life.

Six months ago, I never would've believed you if you told me I'd be writing this from a place of deep gratitude, sun-kissed memories, and a passport full of wild, holy detours. But here I am—living what used to feel impossible.

Apparently, when you stop micromanaging your own limitations, God starts handing you plane tickets.

This year has taken me places I used to only dream about—literally.
Paris at Christmas.
Arizona with lifelong friends.
Cannes and Crete with the absolute love of my life.
An epic trip to Austin to meet my art soul sisters.
A Caribbean cruise.

A week in Alabama celebrating family.
And Hawaii—my forever bucket list destination.

And next month?
Australia.
Yeah. AUSTRALIA.
I still can’t believe I’m typing that.

These aren’t just trips. They’re miracles.
Not because we suddenly “had the time” or “had the money”—because let’s be real, that was never the story we told ourselves.
And not because my body magically bounced back—there were years when travel felt impossible. My health, my energy, my grief… it all said no.

But God?
He’s been whispering yes over me for a long time.
And now I’m finally starting to believe Him.

If we had tried to plan all this a year ago, our minds would’ve shut it down before we even packed a bag. Too expensive. Too much time away. Too hard on my body. Too… unrealistic.
But these past six months?
Most of it was unplanned. Unscripted. A holy unraveling of every excuse I’d clung to.

And here’s what I’m learning—God’s plans are so much better than mine.
He’s not confined by my old beliefs, my past limitations, or the stories I used to tell myself about what I “deserved.”
His vision of me doesn’t match the one I spent years trying to repair.

He sees me whole.
Worthy.
Capable.
Loved.

And now, I’m starting to see it too.
So when these doors open—I'm walking through them.
Not just with gratitude, but with wide eyes, open hands, and a heart that’s finally ready to receive.

This isn’t just about travel.
It’s about healing.
Expansion.
Alignment.
Saying yes to what I once believed was out of reach.

So yeah... Australia.
Let that be a reminder:
You are not too late.
You are not too broken.
You are not too anything for the life that’s calling you.

God's plans are not your plans.
And thank God for that.
