Dancing My Way Into Something New

This weekend I did something I’ve never done before:
I drove six hours to another state to attend a wedding… completely on my own.

And you know what? I had so much fun.

I danced.
I chatted with new people.
I laughed, I ate cake, I soaked in the music, and I let myself enjoy the moment instead of worrying about being there alone.

There was a time when the idea of walking into a wedding solo would’ve made me want to hide under a blanket. But this weekend reminded me of something important:
Being on your own doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time.

It means you get to choose your pace.
Your conversations.
Your experience.

I’m learning that doing things alone doesn’t make me lonely — it makes me brave. It makes me open to new moments and new people. It makes me proud of the woman I’m becoming.

And… I haven’t shared this yet, but I have something really big coming up next Saturday. Something that’s pushing me even further outside my comfort zone. I’m nervous, excited, and honestly? A little shocked at myself for even saying yes. But this journey is about growth — and sometimes growth looks like getting in the car, turning on the music, and choosing to show up anyway.

I can’t wait to share more.

Your turn:
Have you ever done something big or intimidating on your own? How did it make you feel?

Until the next chapter—may your coffee be strong and your heart stay open, and you always lead with kindness
