Today, I learned that on July 24, the USCG’s beautiful “tall ship” will be sailing into San Francisco for the first time in 17 years. The Eagle is a cherished part of the Coast Guard Academy training vessels, affectionately called a floating classroom, that takes 150 cadets on inspiring 14-week cruises each year. It’s hard to believe how the cadets manage 6 miles of rigging and 29 sails. There’s a traditional blessing or farewell for the crew: “Fair winds and following seas.” Boy, would I love to be aboard her.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
