In this episode, we’re continuing the Summer Stories series — a seasonal peek behind the scenes of how I create home, even on the go. Today’s story is about dreams delayed, plans postponed, and what happens when life doesn't go the way we hoped… but maybe the way we needed.
We’re heading north this summer — all the way to the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Alaska — and I’m reflecting on how this trip almost didn’t happen again. Last year’s cancelled plans, family circumstances, and shifting work schedules felt like setbacks at the time. But in hindsight, those delays brought clarity, preparation, and better timing.
This episode is for you if you’ve ever:
Faced a change in plans that felt like failure
Wondered if “delayed” means “denied”
Needed a reminder that growth can happen in the waiting
Tried to create peace in your home — even when your plans fall apart
We’ll explore:
Why our big northern adventure got postponed (and what changed since)
How unexpected delays gave us better tools, timing, and perspective
What it means to create “home on the go” — even from a trailer in the wilderness
The power of second chances and choosing to try again
Why your timeline might be different than expected… and better for it
Whether you’re dreaming up your own adventure or navigating a season of waiting, this story is here to remind you that it’s okay to start again — and that sometimes, the “right time” arrives later than planned… but right on time for you.
Let’s embrace the take twos, celebrate the progress, and remember: even in the delay, you’re still moving forward.
