Jana and I head out to Lovers Key for an early morning paddle. We’re hoping to catch a glimpse of a manatee as they head out through the waterways of Lovers Key to the ocean.
It’s a beautiful Florida winter morning and we do indeed catch a glimpse of a manatee. There’s a lot of birds and fish jumping in the shallow waterways of the park. We paddle out to the back bay and then head back to the park.
The weather’s been lovely and we take the dogs for multiple outings and hang out with Jack and Ellie. Jack and I are going to the soccer field to kick later and Jana and Ellie are going to hang out.
Jack and I had a great time at the field and we decided to check out Ahana’s Healthy Indian Cuisine. We met the proprietor, Nathan, when we picked up the dogs from the groomers. He was a lovely man who had a labradoodle and loved our puppies.
We order and wait for the food and take it home to the RV. The food’s very good, but super spicy.
It’s a nice change for us but a little too spicy for Ellie sadly.
It’s another quiet night in the RV and a few episodes of “The Crown” before drifting off.
It’s a beautiful Florida winter morning and we do indeed catch a glimpse of a manatee.

Happy Birthday to My Greatest Adventure Partner!
Happy 20th Birthday, Jack!
Grant’s built homes, companies, and communities, but the most beautiful thing he’s built is the life we’ve gotten to share for more than 21 years now. It’s a life grounded in love, kindness, and deep gratitude for our family and all the experiences we get to have together, thanks to him.
I love Grant’s integrity, purpose, passion, and his heart-centered generosity of spirit — whether he’s working on visionary wellness communities or transforming an abandoned shack into our next family home.
Right now, I’m so grateful for Grant’s support during the hardest health challenge of my life, whether it be helping me walk down the stairs, dressing me, driving me to endless appointments, or reminding me of my own strength when things get scary. He holds space for all of who I am, supporting the choices I make for my healing, and supporting my dreams with unwavering belief in me, in sickness and in health.
At the same time, Grant is the best dad to Jack and Ellie. Watching him with them, celebrating their gifts, supporting their journeys, and being their safe harbor is a blessing and a joy. He parents with empathy, kindness, an open mind and endless patience, and show them, every day, what it means to be a man who leads with his heart.
At work, Grant is a force of nature. He inspires positive change, connection, and makes the world better, one project at a time. But beyond his impressive accomplishments, it’s his humility, his servant leadership, and his genuine care for people that truly set him apart. Grant doesn’t just work to improve businesses, he works to improve lives.
He’s taught me that true success is measured not by what we achieve but by how much we care. And Grant cares so much; about his family, his friends, his community, and this planet we all share.
Grantly, thank you for being wild and free, for embracing life’s chaos with open arms, and for loving me and our family unconditionally.
Happy Birthday!
