  • Stepping into the Unknown: My Spanish Adventure

    Last week, I embarked on a journey that I never could have imagined when I packed my bags and left the USA nine months ago. This time, it was Spain—a week of exploration, surprises, and deep reflection. My goal? To see if the sun-drenched regions of Alicante and Valencia might be my next chapter. With…

  • Ripples of Kindness The Unexpected Magic of Being Remembered

    This morning at the gym, something small made my day. The registration system was down, so I had to check in manually. When I said, “I need to register,” the attendant smiled and said, “Yes,Carolyn, I know who you are.” It might sound simple, but being greeted by name made me feel so seen and…

  • The True Foundation of Stability

    Stability is an interesting concept—it can take on so many forms: For some, it’s about material possessions—the comfort of having all their “ducks in a row.” But to me, true stability comes from within. It’s rooted in self-awareness and a deep trust—both in yourself and in the universe. It’s the quiet confidence that, no matter…

  • The Quiet Streets of Spain: A Different Kind of Life

    There’s something eerily beautiful about walking through the streets of a Spanish town during siesta. Where is everyone? The streets are still, void of human activity, cloaked in a silence that feels almost spooky. For those unaccustomed, it might seem uninviting. But listen closer.

  • Reimagining Life: One Page, One Plan, One Step at a Time

It all began here—with options and decisions: The list grew and evolved as I went along. I checked things off—done—and added new steps as more pieces of the puzzle emerged. When I started…

  • What do you want to be when you grow up?

    “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s a question we often ask as children, but for many of us, it resurfaces—especially later in life. Have you been asking yourself the same question lately? Sometimes, life sweeps us up in the whirlwind of family, work, and responsibilities. We lose sight of ourselves…

  • Navigating Life with Your Inner GPS

    Have you ever paused to notice the signals your body sends you? The tightness in your gut, the whisper in your ear, the feeling that nudges you to turn left or right? The knot in your stomach when something feels off? That deep sense of “just knowing”? This is your inner GPS, your SATNAV, —your…

  • The Two-Year Journey That Changed Everything

    How One Decision—and a Lot of Patience—Helped Me Reimagine My Life Once I decided to reimagine my life, I called my sister. “I’m on my way—can you pick up Miss Evie and me at the airport?” At the time, I had NO idea that closing one door to open another would take two years. Two…

  • Reclaiming Sundays: From Hustle to Harmony

    Sundays used to mean work. As a realtor, it was always work, work, work. That life became my norm—I didn’t know anything else, let alone anything more fulfilling. I lived to work. Now, in this reimagined chapter of my life, I’m learning something revolutionary (at least for me): Who knew?! What does your perfect Sunday…
