I’ve never really been impressed by things. And the older I get, the more grateful I am for people.

The people who answer the phone.
The people who pray for you.
The people who show up.
The people who sit beside you when life gets hard.
The people who celebrate with you when life gets good.
The people who keep walking with you through all of it.

Looking back, the best parts of my life have always involved people. That’s one of the reasons Step Sisters means so much to me. It’s not just about the miles. It has always been about who is walking them beside us.

Today, on this
I want to know…
who are you especially thankful for in this season of your life?

I found a mailbox filled with strangers’ hopes, dreams, heartbreaks, prayers, secrets, and stories.

Four years ago today, I walked nearly two miles down an empty stretch of beach to this mailbox hidden in the dunes. Most women will never walk to the Kindred Spirits Mailbox. I want to walk there with you, Step Sister. In fact, I think it may become the heart of the very first Step Sisters Gathering.

At the time, I had no idea that walk would stay with me for years. Inside the mailbox are journals filled with the stories of complete strangers. I sat on a weathered bench and started reading. Somewhere between the pages, I stopped seeing strangers and started seeing pieces of myself. The fears. The losses. The hope. The courage to keep going.

I remember sitting there thinking, I wish I could bring a group of women here someday. The funny thing is, Step Sisters didn’t even exist yet. Today, it does.

Now, four years later, I’m exploring the possibility of bringing a small group of Step Sisters back to that very place. Not because it’s a tourist attraction, and not because it’s a mailbox. Because I can’t stop imagining what it would be like to experience it together.

To make that long walk down the beach.

To sit on those benches.

To read the stories.

To reflect on our own.

To leave something behind for another woman to find.

Then later that evening, gathered around a fire or sitting beside the ocean, talking about the words that moved us most and the stories we can’t stop thinking about.

The beach will be beautiful. The house will be beautiful. But I have a feeling the thing we’ll remember most is how we felt. Seen. Connected. Reminded that none of us are walking alone. To me, that feels like the heart of Step Sisters. 💜

If you’ve been following along as I explore the possibility of a Step Sisters Gathering, this is the place I can’t stop thinking about.

And if this dream becomes reality, I have a feeling this little mailbox hidden in the dunes on the coast of NC may end up being the part we remember forever.

I’m with you every step. 💜

Nobody talks enough about how many times we start over in life. Not just when we’re young.

In our 40s.
In our 50s.
In our 60s.

Careers change.
Kids grow up.
Parents need us.
Spouses, partners, and loved ones pass.
Dreams evolve.
Doors close.
New ones open.

Sometimes the chapter you thought would last forever ends without asking your permission. And somehow, you find yourself standing at the beginning again.

The older I get, the more I realize that starting over isn’t a failure, it’s a sign that you’re still growing. And growth has a funny way of asking us to become someone new each time.

What chapter are you stepping into these days?

Step Sisters 💜

For months, I’ve been dreaming about creating a special coastal weekend for the women of Step Sisters.

A weekend that isn’t a girls’ beach trip.

And isn’t a full-scale retreat.

Something in between.

A thoughtfully curated Step Sisters experience designed to give us space to slow down, connect, walk, reflect, have fun, and enjoy a beautiful coastal weekend together.

This is one of the oceanfront homes I’m considering for the Step Sisters Kindred Spirits Beach Getaway in September.

It has beach access, a pool, a firepit, plenty of gathering space, and room for a small group of Step Sisters to share a meaningful weekend together.

Think:

🌊 Oceanfront views

🚶‍♀️ Sunrise and sunset beach walks

📖 Journaling

💜 The Kindred Spirits Mailbox experience

🔥 Firepit conversations

☕ Morning coffee overlooking the water

🌊 Beach time

🏖 Pool time

🎲 Game night

🍽 Shared meals

😊 Laughter, connection, and meaningful conversations with your Step Sisters

I’m currently exploring room options and pricing to make this experience as accessible as possible while still creating something special.

Shared and private room options will be available, with final pricing still being determined for a Thursday to Sunday weekend.

The weekend would include lodging, most meals, and all planned Step Sisters activities.

Nothing is officially booked yet.

Right now, I’m simply gathering information and seeing whether this dream has enough interest to move forward.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, comment BEACH below. 🌊

And tell me:

🏡 Private room

👯 Shared room

🤷‍♀️ Either option

I’d love to hear what you’re thinking.

I think one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is that we need to have the whole plan figured out before we begin. That’s rarely how life works.

💜 When I started walking, I didn’t know it would lead to 500 miles.
💜 When I started inviting women to walk with me during that journey, I didn’t know it would become Step Sisters.
💜 When I started Step Sisters as a local walking social club in NC, I didn’t know it would become a national… even global group. Or a business.
💜 When I wrote the Pray-One30 Walk of Prayer Challenge Devotion, I thought a few of us would walk through it one time. I didn’t know it would become a recurring devotion.
💜 When my husband and I stepped into this current season, we certainly didn’t have a roadmap. We still don’t.

Most of the meaningful things in my life started with one simple step, taken before I felt completely ready.

Maybe that’s your reminder today on this Tip Tuesday.
You don’t need the entire map.
You just need enough courage for the next step.

So tell me…
What’s one thing you’re moving toward right now, even if you don’t have it all figured out yet?

Twenty-eight years ago, we had absolutely no idea what life would look like today.
Most of the best parts weren’t planned.

The kids.
The memories.
The challenges.
The lessons.
The adventures.
The people we’ve met along the way.
The people we’ve lost along the way.
The people we’ve become along the way.

If there’s one thing this season has reminded me, it’s that life doesn’t stop surprising you.

Today looks a little different than we imagined it would a few months ago. Just three weeks ago, my husband wrapped up a 27½-year career and we find ourselves stepping into a new chapter neither of us saw coming quite this way. In some ways it’s like we are those kids, starting all over again.

But maybe that’s the point. The path isn’t always clear when you’re standing at the beginning of something new. You just keep taking the next step together.

Twenty-eight years later, I’m still grateful he’s my favorite person to walk through life with. Happy Anniversary to us. ♥️

You can follow along with some of our anniversary adventures in my stories today.

If you could open a box created just for women who walk… what would you hope to find inside?

Not what should be in it.
What would make you smile the moment you opened the box?

What would make you feel seen, celebrated, encouraged, and excited to lace up your shoes and head out for a walk?

A favorite snack?
A practical walking item?
Something inspiring?
Something just for fun?

I’m creating the Summer Edition of The Walker’s Box for women who walk and I’d love your input.

Tell me your dream Walker’s Box item in the comments. 👇📦💝

The older I get, the more I realize peace is a luxury worth protecting.

Healing doesn’t always happen in a therapist’s office. Sometimes it happens in nature.

Maybe that’s why I find myself choosing trails over traffic, trees over crowds, and conversations that matter over noise.

Fresh air.
Good company.
A trail beneath my feet.
A few trees overhead. 💜

🪞 Monday Mirror Whisper

“I love places where there are crowds of trees.”

Write it. Post it. Say it. Believe it. Walk it.

A Love Note to the Woman Walking on Sunshine

I don’t know who needs this reminder today, but you’re allowed to enjoy your life.

You’re allowed to smile on your walk.
To roll the windows down.
To laugh a little louder.
To notice the sunshine.
To feel a little lighter than you have in a while.

Some of us fought really hard to find our way here.

So if this season feels warmer…
if your heart feels softer…
if life feels even a little more beautiful lately…
I hope you let yourself enjoy it.

And if that’s you,
I hope you know how worthy you are of every beautiful thing this season brings.

With you every step,
Devone 💜
