Happy New Year!

I sent out a short holiday email last week with a special reel, but for some reason it ended up in spam for many of you. My apologies. If you’d like to see the reel and my shortened message, please check your spam folder, or head over to my YouTube channel to watch the reel there.

Last week held contrast — a challenging stretch paired with one truly incredible day. And honestly, this is life.

Just a quick hello to share this final holiday video with you.
This past week has been beautifully full — all good things, just a little busy.

Christmas Eve in Sardinia unfolded in the loveliest way: a seafood lunch at a cozy trattoria with a shared bottle of champagne, a quiet stroll through the cathedral at dusk where we witnessed the beginning of a traditional Mass, and our familiar tradition of watching Love Actually.

The pace of this week has been intense. Ports of call every day. Two travel days just to reach our next destination. The unpacking, the grocery run, stocking up for an eight-night stay — and then realizing, after only three nights, that we’ll be moving again. This first stop in Sardinia turned out to be a little too remote and quiet for where our energy is right now and what we’re wanting to experience.

There’s a theme quietly emerging as we continue this adventure — not one I set out to name, but one that keeps revealing itself anyway.

Rainbows.

Not on every island. Not every day. But often enough that I’ve begun to recognize them as markers — gentle arcs reminding me where I am on the journey. Our final days on Crete gifted us one stretching across the vast Mediterranean, soft and luminous against the sky.
