Hey friends, today's episode is the final episode of season one. We have been together for a year now and it has been so lovely! Thank you all so much for listening and being a part of the Finding What's True podcast community.

Of course not without a sense of humor the universe decided to school me on patience this morning, with some audio and technical difficulties, making this last conversation feel a bit like a limp across the finish line but I am offering it to you here with love, gratitude, and a grin for the always imperfect nature of making things. Especially things made early in the morning and while in this specific parenting season of life. Deep sigh.

Ahem, but I digress. Most of you know how I feel about Sister Corita Kent (total groupie) and today I bring us back around to one of her rules "everything is an experiment." Truly the only control we have is ourselves. If we can embrace this small hard truth than we can actually rest easy that there will be no wrong roads taken...each path simply gifts us information, to be observed, jotted down and folded into the next experiment. The trouble starts, when we stop taking new roads at all, when we put our heads down and plod along on a path already dug out by other folks. At first this seems easier than daring to step off into the wild meadows of this world, I mean you all know how I feel about snakes, but unless we do we will be left disheartened, angry, and empty. Because scaling a mountain, that wasn't even our mountain can do that - it can piss us off. It has to be our mountain, the one we truly want to climb or it's just not worth it...not even a little bit.

And with that, let's not be strangers. Let’s keep finding our truly together.

The podcast is wrapping up season one but the newsletter will still be reporting weekly. To stay in touch as we roadtrip in our Winnebago Brave this summer subscribe to the Finding What's True newsletter. I'll be sharing stories and photos from the wilds of the road with our two kids, small white dog, and fancy cat. And if you feel like being a paid subscriber that would be wonderful too. It would be like buying me a taco for the road. Because I’m sure gunna miss California tacos. And now I’m crying a little.

Lots of love always.
