Traveling slowly through the valley of sorrow, I found myself lost on the road of grief, trying to find a way to re-establish a routine for my son. Then, a friend called with a lifeline: "A change of pace may be just what you need." She invited us to join her Nature Co-op and asked if I could teach "my" survival skills course to the kids. What was meant to help the children ended up guiding me back onto the road, helping me rebuild not just my son's routine, but my own strength. Sometimes, the best way to heal is by letting others lead the way—surround yourself with those you trust, who guide you back to yourself. 🌲💛

Who’s been your guiding light on the rough roads? Tag them and let them know how much they mean to you.

Recent events in my life have lead me down this road paved with emotion-filled images of moments from yesteryear. I am permitting myself to linger around this bend from 2018, when I made the decision to rent an rv (a type of vehicle I had never driven), pack up my 2 year old son and my mom, and drive from Southern California to Sign Post Forest in the Yukon Territory of Canada. I had zero experience, a loose itinerary, and a hyper-focused intention to finally start Road Signs To Life.

In this post, and the next 2-3 posts, I'd like to pay homage to my mom, who emotionally supported my quest to search for the beginning of Road Signs To Life. My mom bravely climbed on board a 24-ft road vessel, and let me lead us into unchartered territory.

As with every great adventure (and this was the greatest), we were challenged with road blocks and detours at nearly every intersection. The entire way to the Yukon Territory, she passively waved the white flag, reminding me that it was okay to turn back around. At the time, it grinded on my nerves that she would suggest a U-turn for home whenever we were met with the next obstacle. I would respond with, "Quitting is not an option! I've got this! (or) I'll figure it out." Looking back, I now recognize that she wasn't trying to talk me out of my destination, even though, in the moment, I interpreted it as such. What my mom was doing was giving me the permission that I never gave/give myself to accept that sometimes things don't turn out as you hoped they would.

The day we nailed our sign to the post in Sign Post Forest, she thanked me, her "Wild Child", for never giving up ... and I never will! Thank you, mom, for trusting me, for the laughter, for taking the backseat the whole way there (and back) as a witness to what my "stubborness" could actually achieve... a month-long adventure of a lifetime, and the beginning of Road Signs To Life. I am eternally grateful that my mom was there to see me push beyond my comfort zone to turn an "idea I had" into a plan that I'm doing!

🇺🇲 The brick square where Kekoa is standing is all that remains of the porch where the Declaration of Independence was first read to the people of Dover, Delaware, on July 29, 1776. It is also where, for the first time, I read Kekoa the Declaration of Independence.

We spent the afternoon exploring the First State Heritage Park Historic Site, talking about the Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. We discussed the concepts of words like courage, bravery, independence, liberty, freedom, and sacrifice. We visited Constitution Square and discussed what it meant and why that document is/was necessary. We even stopped at the Golden Fleece Tavern (now a corner of a hotel) where the Constitution was ratified.

Making the time to play on The Green that day, imagining the Founding Fathers of America meeting here to unite, encourage, and lead the people to fight for their freedom and independence is a significant memory that I will never forget. The Pursuit of Life, Liberty, (and in our case) Playtime.

Happy Independence Day, America! 🇺🇸
