So what's the plan?
Towards the end of 2025, I had a flood of ideas for how I want to move forward in my life. Some ideas were organically my own, while others sprouted from seeds planted by my soul family. As you know I'm a military spouse and with that comes a set of challenges not typical for most households. The constant moving requires you to reinvent yourself every 3 years or so. The job ends, the physical village disappears, and you are left standing in the aftermath looking like somebody
