Ryan Norwood seemed to have it a fulfilling job, a loving girlfriend soon to be her wife and a bright future ahead. Yet, when her world unexpectedly changed, she came to a powerful realization—it wasn’t her true world after all.

On a journey of self-discovery in beautiful St. Thomas, she uncovered a joy in simplicity that she had never known before. By letting go of the material wealth she grew up with, Ryan found clarity about what truly matters in life.

A serendipitous meeting with Cassie Dean opened her eyes even further, highlighting the richness of experiences she had previously overlooked. Reflecting on her journey, Ryan embraced the idea that true happiness comes from within, and it cannot simply be handed to us.

This inspiring story illustrates that even when we appear to have everything, we may be missing what we truly need. Life’s essence and genuine happiness are treasures that we must seek out and create ourselves.

Ultimately, the family we choose to cultivate reflects the meaningful decisions we make along our path.
