Write it Down
Greetings from Arizona Dear Friends,
As I’ve been settling back into life here in Arizona, my heart is overflowing with joy. Reconnecting with family, longtime friends, and beloved students has been such a gift—and I’ve even been making new friends as I explore fresh hobbies like country dancing and golfing. It turns out it’s never too late to try something new. In fact, stepping into unfamiliar experiences challenges both the mind and the body in the best ways.
One of the most powerful ways to begin any new chapter is by writing down your goals and aspirations. Putting pen to paper gives your dreams form—it breathes life into them. It’s an act of faith, a way of anchoring what God has placed in your heart. Scripture even encourages us to capture our visions so they become tangible and clear:
“Then the Lord replied: ‘Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.’” – Habakkuk 2:2
When we articulate our dreams, we begin to align our daily actions with them. Writing helps us visualize where we’re going, reminds us of our purpose, and fuels the motivation to keep moving forward.
Heather and I have been joyfully preparing for our upcoming retreat in Budapest this September, and we still have a few spots open. If this beautiful city has been on your heart, NOW IS THE TIME TO SAY YES!
We’re also thrilled to announce next year’s retreat: ✨ Argentina — March 2027 ✨ Interest has already been strong, so if you’re even considering joining us, I encourage you to secure your refundable deposit before it fills up.
Tell me more!
Say Yes to What’s Calling You
Say yes—to adventure, to transformation, to friendships that last a lifetime. There is something uniquely powerful about traveling with like‑minded souls on retreat. The connections formed, the breakthroughs experienced, the joy shared… it’s unlike anything else.
The picture above was captured in Winslow, Arizona during a few joy‑filled days on a girl’s retreat where we celebrated Jen’s birthday. The photos below are pieces of my world—my people, my community, my heart.
July holds a few little adventures of its own. I can’t wait to see you in class or share a coffee or meal together.
With all my love,
Hanan
