Quiet Moments, Big Plans: What’s Been Simmering Behind the Scenes with *Joy Ride*

It's been a bit quiet on the posting front recently, but I've been hard at work wrapping up something I'm thrilled to share with you—a brand-new book called *Joy Ride*.

We've been busy with volunteering, training, and a little physical therapy (because sometimes you forget that range of motion is as essential as the workout itself!). Guilty as charged!

But in the early morning hours, I've found so much joy in piecing together what I've learned over the last four years of full-time RVing—crafting road trips that spark that childlike wonder all over again. And no, it's not about checking off someone else's bucket list or hitting 'must-see' spots.

It's about discovering what makes you leap out of bed, excited for the day ahead, and falling into bed at night, content and tired like a well-worn traveler. It took some time to recognize the pattern of what's been making retirement so much fun—so much so that I had to find a way to put it on repeat. And once I figured it out, I knew I had to share it with you.

Stay tuned for more on *Joy Ride*.
