About ME

Is talking about yourself ever easy?

The growth this blog has seen over the past four years has truly blown me away. When I first started, my bio read something like this:

“I am a widowed mother of three with a house full of fur babies. I am adjusting to the Empty Nest side of life and starting over. My true passion in life (after motherhood) is traveling. I have a thirst to see the world that can’t be quenched…”

Life never stops moving forward. Today, I’m still a mom of three—and now my house is full in the best way, with three dogs and my husband, Tim. (We’re both Cancers, born on the same day!) Travel is still our favorite thing in the world, just after our dogs and each other. I still love sea turtles—and the name of this blog makes more sense to me with every post.

Thanks for stopping by—and an extra thanks if you choose to stick around and follow along. Sometimes I write about travel, but more often, you’ll find my reflections on real life, grief, healing, and growth.
