Quote of the Day 07.13.2025​

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." — Ralph Waldo Emerson​

Now that’s some front porch wisdom if we’ve ever heard it. Emerson had a way of saying what so many of us know deep down: life isn’t about following the crowd—it’s about carving out your own road, even if it’s a little bumpy along the way.

Many of you have shared stories about starting over, trying new things later in life, or simply living on your own terms—and we love it. Whether it was changing careers at 60, picking up a new hobby, or deciding to take that big road trip just because… you’ve left a trail worth following.

So here’s our question: What’s one “trail” you’ve blazed in your own life?

We’d love to hear it—drop your stories below and let’s keep inspiring each other to keep stepping off the beaten path.

Cheers!

I learned to be a single Mom at 36 with two little guys. We learned together so much and created many memories. Tried new things and they loved it.
