This morning I find myself sitting in an airport at 4:50 am. Today, I am only traveling to Connecticut for work – but even the little adventures mean something, at least to me. Traveling to the East Coast four or five times in the past six months, where I had never been farther East than Kansas six months ago – gives me a little taste of what my heart desires. I truly want to travel the world. I finally put money aside and applied for my passport a couple of weeks ago – and it’s ignited the desire inside of me even more. I can’t wait to save up, plan trips, and see corners of the Earth I’ve been dreaming about since I was a little girl.

So, friend, don’t give up on your dreams – because I certainly won’t be giving up on mine.
