I've spent much of my life in roles I deeply love—wife, mother, teacher, performer, coach, friend, supporter, and often the person helping hold things together.

And somewhere along the way, I began asking some bigger questions. Who am I underneath all of these roles? Why am I here? What am I here to do? Who am I becoming? I didn't want to abandon the life I'd built, and I also wanted to remember who I am and find the golden threads running through all of it, like a beautiful tapestry.

That search eventually led me to Caravan of Remembering and to a deeper understanding of life mission—not simply as something we do, more as something we live and become.

I've learned that we don't always get a clear view of the whole mountain. Sometimes we're standing in the fog, unable to see whether we should step left, right, or straight ahead. And when the terrain is unfamiliar, it helps to have a guide—not someone who chooses the path for you, instead someone who walks beside you as you learn to recognize the path that is yours.

That's the kind of guide I want to be. Because I believe there is something sacred about becoming who you were sent here to be. And you don't have to see the entire mountain. You just need enough courage, trust, and remembering to take the next step and keep on singing.
