"Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on."— Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven
Welcome.
A year ago, I thought I knew exactly what came next.
I was preparing to leave a decades-long corporate career and walk the Camino de Santiago across Spain. Then life intervened. A chronic digestive illness forced me to postpone the trip and put many plans on hold.
Over the past year, I’ve learned something uncomfortable:
Life doesn’t wait for us to have all the answers.
Today, I am still figuring things out.
I’m leaving corporate America. I’m deciding where I want to live. I’m exploring what purpose, work, and fulfillment look like in the next chapter of my life.
And in August, I’ll begin walking nearly 500 miles across Spain on the Camino Francés.
This blog is for anyone standing at a crossroads.
Maybe you’re considering a career change. Maybe you’re approaching retirement. Maybe you’re recovering from a setback or questioning old assumptions.
I don’t claim to have the answers.
What I do have is a backpack, a plane ticket, and a willingness to be uncomfortable.
And a growing belief that courage isn’t about certainty.
It’s about taking the next step before everything is figured out.
Along the way, I’ll share stories from the Camino, reflections on reinvention, and what it feels like to choose possibility over predictability.
If you’re navigating your own transition, I hope you’ll join me.
Let’s see where the path leads.
