Our Belightfull Story: B and Me

Updated: Dec 1

This is more than a business.

This is a journey — one built between a mother, a son, and a dream that grows every day.

 

While some stories begin with a business plan, ours began with curiosity, courage, and the belief that adventure and belonging can exist in the same breath. As a strategic storyteller most of my career, I know that the stories that connect people are the ones with shared experience and adventure.


Now, as a travel advisor, I help others explore the world, discover new places, and connect through experience. And somewhere within that work — trip by trip, conversation by conversation — a bigger vision began to take shape.

 

A vision rooted in connection.

In land.

In story.

 

A dream shared by both me and B.

 

Where the Dream Began

 

He dreams of land — fields and animals, open sky, mornings that smell like hay and coffee.


I dream of hospitality — welcoming guests, crafting experiences, creating a place where people feel seen, and connected to one another through shared ideas, faith and/or life experiences.

 

Together, we dream of a hobby farm and boutique retreat center.

A place where people can slow down, breathe, and rediscover themselves.

 

This isn’t just a business goal — it’s a future we are building with intention for our love of people and connection to experience and adventure.

 

Why Travel Matters to Our Journey

 

Every itinerary I create, every vacation I plan, every traveler I support brings us closer to that dream.

 

Travel is how we fund it.

But connection is why we do it.

 

Because travel and land aren’t separate for us — they feed the same purpose.

 

Travel expands the world.

Land brings it back home.

 

One day, I will still be helping families explore other countries — while welcoming them into ours.

 

A Place for Stories

This farm — this retreat — this dream of ours isn’t just for us.

 

It will be a place built for community.

For grounding.

For storytelling.

 

We want people to come to our space and feel something shift.


We want them to leave feeling more connected -- to themselves, to others, or to the experience -- than when they arrived.

 


You’re Part of This Story, Too

Thank you for being here — at the beginning of something big.
