Our September 2025 Portugal Yoga Retreat was such an epic experience! 22 diverse humans came together and explored a stunning country, practiced yoga, created art, nourished well, and reflected upon their unique life purposes. Many unexpected, yet divine appointments, conversations, and friendship bonds blessed the collective experience. ❤️ “The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” Proverbs 20:5 NIV

We are so grateful to Julie Copenhaver for her beautiful professional photography, Vangie Rodriguez for her amazing art workshop, Filippo for his exquisite cuisine, and to Gorana and Davor, the Green Yogi Traveler team, for their incredible assistance with this memorable retreat!

I love this insight from Tracy Miles in her recent blog regarding God’s purpose for our lives.

Psalm 138:8 offers this powerful reminder: "The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands."

God's purpose for our lives isn't something we can miss, lose, or age out of. His purpose will be fulfilled because it's not dependent on our flawless track record or perfect circumstances – it's grounded in His steadfast love, which never changes. The love that carried you through past seasons will carry you into the next.

After all, you've been gathering wisdom, experiences, resilience, and faith all along. What you've been through has shaped you, and it is usable by God.

You are deeply loved and intentionally crafted. If God has placed a longing in your heart – to write, to create, to lead, to serve, to heal, to learn, to go – then that dream is part of His workmanship in you. And He will not forsake it.

So take the next brave step. Not because you have it all figured out but because the God who formed you and holds your future will fulfill His purpose for your life.

What’s your next brave step? All things are possible! ❤️
