I'm Back… and Apparently, I've Been Busy Living. 😂

It's been a minute.

Actually, Sunday, April 19, 2026 was my last post here.

But here's the thing about life: sometimes you're too busy living the stories to sit down and write them.

And I've been living.

I've traveled. I've worked. I've dreamed. I've loved. I've laughed. I've started over. I've gotten my hands dirty. I've grown things. I've tackled projects that probably sounded like a good idea at the time. 😂

And somewhere along the way, I realized I have a whole lot of stories to tell.

Welcome to the new Gallivanting with Michelle.

Travel will always be part of this place. But Gallivanting with Michelle isn't just about where I've been. It's about where life has taken me, too.

You'll find travel adventures, Jamaica, family, friendships, music, gardening, home projects, love, laughter, starting over, and the wonderfully unpredictable business of simply being alive.

And then there are my Chronicles from Michelle — the personal stories I'm writing one at a time.

Some are funny.

Some are messy.

Some are painful.

Some are about places I've traveled.

Some are about people I've loved.

And some are about things like building a berm in my backyard and somehow turning a drainage problem into an entire chapter of my life. 😂

So, come wander around.

Read a story.

Take a trip.

Meet a few of the people and places that have shaped me.

Or just stop by for a laugh.

There's no particular itinerary here.

After all, I've never been very good at following one.
