My “Top 10” D.R. Highlights List (OK, 20, but who’s counting?). Things I learned as a first-timer and outside the comfort zone experiences.

I had my own "Coming to Rafiki" moment in the Dom. Republic when a few monkeys launched off my noggin & helped me come to some realizations.

A weekend in San Diego that was full of romance, wishes come true, and love lessons.

Solvang. It was a much-needed escape into the most adorable little town that lit up my heart, filled my belly, & launched a reset of my life

I end the weekly travel back journey with the epilogue, a summary of the lessons learned to that date, and "where to next."

This week, I share the final journey; the one that led me to a much deeper revelation than any other journey before: the truth.

This week, I share a moment of light-heartedness, acceptance and magic as I indulge my inner princess at a Renaissance Faire.

An original poem inspired by a trip to New England gone wrong...which led to everything going all right.

I reveal the life-changing trip to Sedona that inspired this book, my movie to California and a true embrace of who I was.

This week, I share my literal and figurative flight of freedom in a hot air balloon with my sisters.

This week, I get vulnerable about how much being back home, and honoring that, shaped my healing of the past and embracing of the future.

Book of the week. Romance. Life transformation. Travel abroad. Running a bookstore. Following your heart. Healing. OMG this book had it all.

I share one of my most favorite family vacations ever: a no contact from the outside world, Christmas-themed Disney Cruise around Bahamas.

I reveal yet another crazy adventure in Atlantic City...and how I walked away this time with something more valuable than money.

I share a trip to my Miami graduation, and the pride I felt walking across a stage to receive my hard-earned Masters degree.

This week, I share my cross-country culinary holiday adventure: a Thanksgiving in San Diego.
