Beautiful, Kait. Both our kids have passports but neither has used them yet. We're hoping we might pull off Mexico City next spring, but I can empathize with the struggle of my world narrowing so much since I had kids. And at the same time, my life is bigger than it's ever been.

Thanks Sam! I hope you make it to Mexico City! The narrowing is pretty inescapable even if you think you’ll be the exception, but the expansion is real too. Thanks for reading!

Having to redraw the map is such a universal theme! While not a mother myself, I still connect with the need to redefine how to get somewhere when reality doesn’t match the initial dream in my head. I love your writing and can’t wait for more!

Thank you, Catherine! It seems like we need new maps all the time - I guess it's what keeps life interesting? Thank you for reading!
