The journey to Naples

It's hard to believe that a little over 6 weeks ago I was still living in Missouri.  

There have been so many God stories along the way 

that have paved the way for me to reunite with my daughter 

and start making a home near her.  

After being apart for 7 years, as much as I loved and love SW Missouri and it's beauty, 

there were too many things pointing me towards her and moving to Naples.  

I'm so grateful beyond words for the support along the way from family and friends. 

Too many to thank in this one post.  

Waking up in Georgia at my friend Diane's 

and visiting her and her mom was extra special.  

 Not only did I get to visit with Mary, 

but I squeezed in my niece's Christmas recital in Colombia, SC 

on the way over to Charleston, SC where my Aunt & Uncle live.    

 Visiting my Aunt and Uncle in Charleston was a major life mile-stone in so many ways. 

They have always been a couple that I looked up to in making their dreams a reality...

They are blessed with all my cousins and their kids around them...

when we all got together one night it really was a full house.  

My heart was warmed.

 To finally be near Megan (here with her super sweet boyfriend, Nick) 

I am thankful and grateful each 

day to just be able to be in her life and be available.  

Of course I'm enjoying scouting all the new locations and 

I have already been blessed with 

new clients that are quickly becoming dear friends!
