On Monday, August 31, I'll be sharing stories, memories, food, culture, history, and some of the unexpected moments from my journey through Portugal.

One of the biggest things travel has taught me has very little to do with where I'm going.

𝘐𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦.

When you travel, you meet people from different countries, cultures, backgrounds, and walks of life.

And sometimes, within minutes of meeting someone, we make assumptions.

We think we know their story.
Their personality.
What they believe.
What their life must be like.

And then they start talking.
And you discover something you never expected.

A story.
A struggle.
A dream.
A completely different perspective.
A shared experience you never imagined you could have in common.

I've had moments while traveling where I've thought:
"𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂."

And those moments stay with me.

Because maybe one of the greatest gifts of travel isn't seeing how different we are.
It's discovering how much we actually have in common.

We laugh.
We worry.
We love.
We grieve.
We hope.
We search for meaning.
We want to belong.
We want to be seen.

That's part of what makes travel so meaningful to me.

I'm not interested in simply collecting destinations.

𝘐'𝘮 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴.

And that's a big part of what I hope Grounding Journeys will become.

Not simply trips to beautiful places.

But opportunities to experience a place, connect with people, step outside our familiar world, and perhaps come home seeing things—and ourselves—a little differently.

It didn't run.
It didn't move.
And apparently, I decided that someday I was going to make this dream happen. 😂

Fast forward ten years…

There's a new battery, locked-up wheels, a new engine, tires, brakes, exhaust, body work, paint—and a whole lot of learning things that were definitely not in my wheelhouse.

I've spent hours cleaning, ordering parts, figuring things out, and becoming surprisingly familiar with spray paint.

And I'm still not quite on the road yet.

But here's the thing I've realized:

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲.

Sometimes they require patience.
Sometimes they require asking for help.
Sometimes they require learning something completely new.

And sometimes they require us to be willing to feel a little uncomfortable and say:
"Okay… I don't know how to do this yet. But I'm going to figure it out."

𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩.

Travel has taught me that some of the best parts of a journey happen when we don't have everything figured out.

And apparently, my Volkswagen is teaching me the same lesson. 😉

I'm hoping this little adventure will finally be on the road soon.

Stay tuned. I have a feeling this journey is just getting started.

We post the beautiful parts of travel.

The sunsets.
The food.
The scenery.
The laughter.
The adventures.

But there's another side of travel that doesn't usually make it onto social media.

The tiredness.
The early mornings.
The unfamiliar surroundings.
The moments when you're completely out of your routine.
The unexpected emotions.
The little frustrations.

And sometimes... the version of yourself that shows up when you're tired, uncomfortable, or outside your normal environment.

I've learned that those moments can be incredibly revealing.

Travel doesn't just show you new places.

𝗜𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.

How do you respond when plans change?
Can you let go of control?
Can you ask for what you need?
Can you slow down?
Can you accept help?
Can you be present when things aren't going exactly as planned?

Those are some of the reasons I believe travel can be such a powerful part of personal growth.

And it's a big part of what I want Grounding Journeys to become.

Not simply:
"Let's go somewhere beautiful."

But:
𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Let's explore.
Let's laugh.
Let's get uncomfortable sometimes.
Let's learn.
Let's connect.
Let's come home seeing ourselves—and perhaps the world—a little differently.

That's the kind of journey I'm interested in creating.

This week, I managed to burn my fingers. 🔥

It hurt. A lot. I grabbed the metal end of a heat gun after using it for several minutes while extracting honey. Think 500°F+…

I immediately took care of the burn the way I normally would, and then I also began using Reiki as part of my own self-care.

I spent time with my hand, focusing my attention on the injury and allowing myself to slow down for a few minutes before jumping back in: one hand in cold water, to finish the 32 frames of honey we were halfway through.

And I was honestly surprised by how dramatic the healing appeared to me over the following days.

Now, I want to be very clear:

𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗸𝗶 "𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀."
It doesn't. But it sure helps!

This experience reminded me of something I talk about with clients all the time:

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲.

Paying attention.
Listening to your body.
Creating space to heal.
And giving yourself permission to care for yourself even when you must push through.

That's one of the reasons I love Reiki.

For me, it's not about choosing Reiki 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙤𝙛 other forms of care.

It's about using it as a complementary practice that supports the whole person.

And sometimes, experiencing something yourself reminds you why you believe in the work you do. 💚

This week, my dining room table has been covered with photos, notes, memories, and more smiles than I can count.

As I've been preparing for August 31, I've realized something...

It's nearly impossible to choose just a few stories.

Should I tell you about the hidden house that looked ordinary until we stepped inside?

The music that brought me to tears?

The tiny snail that reminded me to slow down?

The unexpected friendships?

The vineyards?

Or the 96,000 steps that somehow made me feel lighter instead of exhausted?

Maybe...

I'll tell them all.

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁? 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀!

There are some things I don't rush anymore.

Getting to know someone.
Making a decision.
Enjoying a meal.
Walking somewhere beautiful.
Sitting quietly.
Letting myself feel something before trying to fix it.

And especially... 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴..

I think we're surrounded by messages telling us that everything should happen quickly.

Feel better.
Solve the problem.
Get back to normal.
Move on.

But I've learned that some of the most important changes in our lives don't happen on a schedule.

They happen gradually.

Sometimes so quietly that we don't notice until we look back and realize:
"I'm not the same person I was six months ago."

That's one reason I love the work I do.

Whether it's Reiki, energy work, grounding, or creating experiences through travel, I'm not interested in rushing people toward some finish line.

I'm interested in creating space for people to listen to themselves.

To notice.
To breathe.
To reconnect.
And to allow whatever needs to unfold... to unfold.

Maybe that's one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.

𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 ❤️

If you're in a season of becoming, remember, you don't have to rush it.

People have been asking me about Portugal ever since I returned.

"What was your favorite place?"
"What was the food like?"
"How many miles did you really walk?"

The truth is...
This evening isn't really about Portugal.

It's about what happens when we step outside our routines.

It's about slowing down enough to hear birdsong instead of notifications.

It's about conversations with strangers who become friends.

It's about tasting something new, hearing music that moves you even when you don't understand the words, and discovering that growth often begins when we're willing to be uncomfortable.

Portugal just happened to be where those lessons found me.

On 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟯𝟭, I'd love to share those stories—and maybe inspire you to say "yes" to your own next adventure.

If you've ever taken a trip that changed you in some way, tell me where you went.

I'd love to hear your story.
