A few months ago, I couldn't walk.

This week, I'm preparing to walk the Camino de Santiago as I celebrate my 60th birthday.

Life has a way of reminding us that the journey is never really about the destination. It's about the people who carry us when we're struggling, the lessons we learn along the way, and the gratitude we discover in unexpected places.

This week's blog is a reflection on healing, friendship, purpose, and embracing whatever comes next: one step at a time.

Thank you for being part of this journey. 💙
