It’s a beginning.

We have a logo! And it feels wildly foolish to feel really excited about it, let alone to share it.

Because here’s what I’m learning:
When you live with courage, you feel beyond foolish most days.
When you walk with unflappable faith, you feel extremely foolish.
When you’re an entrepreneur, betting on yourself, building something from the holy whisper of a dream, foolish yet again.

And maybe that’s the point.

Maybe feeling foolish isn’t a red flag.
Maybe it’s the evidence that you’re actually doing the work.
That you’re risking.
That you’re trusting.
That you’re moving.

I’ve spent years teaching that courage is a muscle we train.
I’m realizing it’s also a tolerance.
A tolerance to the ache of uncertainty, the sting of loneliness and invisibility, and the relentless discomfort of feeling foolish.

This logo?
It’s more than a mark.
It’s a beginning.
It’s a stake in the sacred ground of what’s not yet.
And of what I know deep in my bones is worth it anyway.

Monarch Meadows Retreat (new roofs in process as we speak) is coming to life.
Slowly. Courageously. Foolishly. Faithfully.

Here I am, heart open, building what I can’t yet fully see, apparently saying: Send me.
