Last week I set a goal to finish, finish the third draft of my memoir. And while I missed hitting my exact deadline, I did finish.

It has taken me years to get to this point and I'm so proud. There is still work to be done, but this is definitely a milestone.

You can hear more about this accomplishment by watching my year in review live stream which aired on Sunday. Link in my bio.

It's hard to believe that it's already been a month since the beautiful women of the Carefree Expat Incubator convened at our Summit in Avignon. These dreamers took time for themselves to reflect on how far they have come and where they are headed.

If you are single woman planning a move abroad, and would like support to build the confidence, courage, and resilience to do it in a way that aligns with your values so that you can stay the course, then check out the link in my bio to learn more about the program.

I thought I was done.

I’d just written the last chapter of my book — ten months of work (for this draft) finally complete. ✨

Then I reread the beginning… and there it was: Chapter 2. Unfinished. Messy. Rough.

I’d been so ready to print out the manuscript, to finally hold it in my hands, and read through ir, cover to cover, but that one chapter stopped me cold. 😅

So came the question: Do I start from scratch with chapter 2 or do I painstakingly fix what I’ve already written?
 
To find clarity, I did what I always do here, I went for a walk through the woods in Céret, and this time I talked it out.

This week’s vlog is that walk: part writing journey, part life reflection, and all about finding direction when you’re not sure what to do next.

Have you ever faced your own “start over or keep going” moment? 💬

After a really busy month, I finally got the chance to slow down and unwind with this cutie pie 🐶 Dog-sitting not too far from home turned out to be the perfect little reset.

We bonded over five wonderful days, walks, cuddles, and lots of treats 🦴💛 Can’t wait to spend more time with sweet Ginger again soon.

After nearly 8 years in France, I’ve learned that building a life abroad isn’t one long vacation; it’s a transformation.

There are still things I struggle with.
There are things that used to feel hard but don’t anymore.
And there are things I thought would be difficult… that turned out surprisingly easy.

In my next livestream, I’m sharing what living in France really feels like day-to-day and yes, how being a Black American woman has shaped pieces of that experience.

If you’ve ever wondered what living in France looks like after the newness wears off… this conversation is for you. 💛

🎥 Live Date: Thursday, October 23
🕰️ Live Time: 2pm Eastern/11am Pacific (8pm France)
🔴 Topic: What I struggle with living in France & what I don’t

Join me live and bring your questions!
