In this episode, we’re kicking off the Summer Stories series — a seasonal collection of personal reflections, travel tales, and gentle lessons about home, life, and intentional living.
This week, I am sharing the backstory of our family’s Cross-Canada road trip — a dream that began with a pair of souvenir mugs and took years, a pandemic, and a little rainstorm in Jasper to finally come true.
But this isn’t just a story about travel. It’s a story about second chances, delayed dreams, and what it really means to create home — on the road, and in your heart.
This episode is for you if you’ve ever:
Had a dream that got postponed, canceled, or seemed just out of reach
Needed encouragement to keep going after a goal — even when the first attempt didn’t work out
Wondered how to make travel feel like home (especially with kids!)
Longed to hear a real-life example of resilience, flexibility, and hope
We’ll explore:
Why some dreams take more than one try — and how that can be a blessing
How small symbols (like a coffee mug) can become powerful anchors for your dreams
What it looks like to create a sense of home while traveling
The beauty of a Plan B (and even Plan C) when life throws curveballs
How to keep believing in your vision, even when the path is uncertain
Whether you’re packing for your own summer adventures or simply soaking up the season at home, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the best stories — and the best outcomes — come from the take twos.
Let’s begin the journey.
