Taking Love on the Road

There are moments in life where everything feels like it has been building toward something bigger, even when you could not fully see it at the time. This tour feels like one of those moments for me.

I am preparing to travel this summer, bringing my books, my magazines, and everything I have been working toward out into the world in a more direct way. That alone would be exciting, but what makes this experience different is who I am doing it with.

I am going on tour with the love of my life.

For a long time, much of what I built came from a place of independence and necessity. I learned how to carry ideas, push through uncertainty, and move forward even when things felt unclear. That process shaped me, but it also meant that many of my wins and challenges were experienced alone.

This time, that is not the case.

There is something powerful about building alongside someone who understands both the vision and the work required to bring it to life. This is not just about having company on the road. It is about partnership. It is about shared goals, shared effort, and a shared belief in what we are creating together.

We are not just packing inventory for this tour. We are packing intention, preparation, and the willingness to show up fully in every space we enter. We are stepping into rooms, meeting readers, and presenting our work in a way that reflects not only what we have created individually, but what we are building together.

That brings a different kind of excitement.

Of course, there are practical realities to consider. Touring requires planning, investment, time, and energy. There will be long days, early mornings, and moments where we have to adjust in real time. None of that is lost on me. If anything, it makes the experience feel more meaningful because I understand what it takes to make it happen.

At the same time, there is a sense of anticipation that I cannot ignore. I am looking forward to traveling, connecting with readers, and seeing how this next step unfolds. More than anything, I am looking forward to experiencing it with someone who adds to the journey instead of taking away from it.

This tour represents more than a series of dates. It reflects growth, both personal and professional. It reflects the decision to keep moving forward, to take risks, and to invest in the life I am building.

It also reflects love.

Not the kind that exists only in quiet moments, but the kind that shows up in the work, in the planning, and in the willingness to build something together in real time.

This is a new chapter for me, and I am stepping into it with both excitement and intention.
