Our Journey is the story of a family who sold everything, packed up two young children, and moved to Europe for what was supposed to be one year.

This collection of stories, journal entries, and memories preserves that journey and serves as the foundation for the books I am writing today.
I must be crazy! I bought this very slimming black one piece bathsuit about 8 kilos ago. I looked at it each morning as motivation! Today I went to Valencia Lake in Hungary and wore it! I felt great. I didn’t have to cover myself with beautiful bathing suit covers, or try not to walk…

When I go over the last 8 years in my mind, I sometimes forget the courage it took, the crazy experiences we went through, the change and adaptation and I wonder if it was all real. I see myself today as this person who has gone through many changes, even early on. Life started off…
Each and every year it starts the same. I turn back to my last year’s resolutions and see just how far I got through my list. I reflect on what has taken place over the last 12 months, to think about why some resolutions seemed easier and others were simply put aside. Then I decide…
There is always so much to be grateful for! I am taking a few moment to reflect upon things as I hit the big milestone of 45 years of age today! It’s my birthday and I will cry if I want to! Reflecting on these moments is vital; taking inventory of just how far we have…
