Joy Comes with the Dawn

Each sunrise is a gentle reminder that joy comes in the morning, that gratitude can bloom even after the longest night. To wake with the dawn is to breathe hope again, to see mercy renewed, and to remember that every day is a gift worth cherishing. #takingtimetravel #sunrise #goodmorning

Look a little closer

Not every day is painted in color. Not every moment bursts with vibrance or grandeur. Sometimes life feels quieter, softer, shaded in black and white. And in those moments, the beauty isn’t in the spectacle, but in the stillness. It’s less about where I am, and more about what I feel. Because

Hydrangea on Penang Hill, Malaysia

I spotted this beautiful hydrangea on Penang Hill, hydrangeas are probably one of my top five favorite flowers, so I was tickled to see one here. But did you know hydrangeas aren’t native to Malaysia? They were introduced during the British colonial era, when officers built hilltop bungalows and la

Would you have tried a Mixed Berry Coffee with real fruit in it?

Second coffee shop of the day… did we need it? No. Did we enjoy it? Absolutely. My daughter ordered a mixed berry coffee, and I’ll admit, I didn’t think it sounded good. Hands down, I was so very wrong. It was delicious, and yes, I had to have a sip or two..more? 😂 We love the fun of trying drinks

So Grateful!

I pause in my mind and look back over the last six years… what a whirlwind of change it has been. Through the highs and lows, we’re beginning to see the fruits of prayers sown long ago. Grace has a way of showing up in the waiting, and I’m grateful for every step of this journey.

Is McDonald's different outside of the US

Yes. My daughter had a Spicy chicken sandwich, drumstick, mashed potatoes and a McFlurry (because the ice cream machine was not broke down). She liked it all.. #takingtimetravel #Mcdonald s #penangmalaysia

Have you heard of ☕ Malaysian White Coffee

Malaysia’s legendary white coffee Born in Ipoh, Perak, beans lightly roasted with palm oil margarine, no sugar. “white coffee” isn’t about milk, it’s about the roast. Served with condensed or evaporated milk, it’s smooth, nutty, and comforting. Delicious! ☕ Brew vs. packet: the roast is

What's would you choose?

I can honestly say I enjoy all three, though these days I find myself leaning more toward the luxury side, comfort has become more important than it was before. Still, if adventure is involved, I’ll happily jump on board. #takingtimetravel #travel
