Nobody tells you that building a business at 72 looks a lot like an ordinary Tuesday.
Yesterday I walked Overstreet with Lyllie and Gregg. We grocery shopped. I fixed dinner. We watched Secondhand Lions for probably the fourth time and I cried in the same place I always cry because that movie knows something true about what it means to have lived a life that looked like a mess from the outside and turned out to be exactly right.
This morning I was up before the sun. Outside. Meditating. Drumming. Pulling cards. Letting the quiet do what quiet does when you stop filling it with noise.
And somewhere in that stillness I was also thinking about the Stealth Skort and the Everyday Pilgrim and the women I want to reach and the next right step in a plan that sometimes feels enormous and sometimes feels completely clear.
Both things at once. That is the actual practice.
I am not building Cover Yr Assets in spite of my life. I am building it from inside my life. The walk with Gregg and Lyllie. The dinner. The movie that makes me cry. The drum in my hands before sunrise. The cards on the table. The coffee going cold because I got quiet and stayed there.
This is what the river looks like on a Tuesday. Not dramatic. Not Instagram perfect. Just real and moving and going somewhere.
I spent 35 years in emergency rooms and helicopters and courtrooms watching what happens when women are left without cover. I walked 500 miles across Spain at 60 looking for something I could not name. I sat at a kitchen table at 68 with a pair of scissors and built something that did not yet exist.
And now I walk my dog and fix dinner and watch movies with my husband and wake up early to drum and meditate and take the next step.
All of it matters. The good and the bad and the ugly and the ordinary Tuesday. Every single thread.
That is what the tapestry is made of.
Not the highlight reel. Not the dramatic pivot. Not the moment everything changed.
The walk. The grocery store. The dinner. The drum.
The river running underneath all of it knowing exactly where it is going even when you cannot see that far ahead.
If your life has felt scattered — if you have looked back and wondered what any of it was for — I want you to know something.
Nothing was wasted.
Not one single thread.
It was all being woven into something you are only now beginning to see.
That is what Cover Yr Assets is about. That is what the Everyday Pilgrim is about. That is what the Stealth Skort is about.
Women who move through the world with freedom, dignity, and zero apology.
Women who know that all of it — the good the bad and the ugly — was always part of the plan.
Come walk with us.
Buen Camino.
