How's It Rollin?
We’re Patrick & Tamekia—a married couple in our 50s, living life full of energy, purpose, and fun. This is a lifestyle blog for married couples over 50 who don’t believe in slowing down. We’re all about travel, family, fitness, faith, entrepreneurship, and keeping it real.
Here, you’ll find travel stories (from Europe to Alaska to weekend road trips), parenting and relationship insights, fitness motivation, and yes—our take on reality TV like Love Is Blind. We also share what we’ve learned from years of building businesses, navigating corporate life, and constantly evolving together.
Our life is full—blended family, grandkids, workouts, business ideas, and lots of laughs. Whether you’re here for trip tips, relationship talk, or entrepreneurial inspiration—we’re glad you’re rollin’ with us.
You can keep up with us right here on Our Written Journey where we post stories, reflections, and updates. We also share short clips and behind-the-scenes fun over on TikTok and longer videos, vlogs, and lifestyle content on YouTube. And if you really want to dive deep, our podcast gives you the long-winded, unfiltered versions of our conversations about life, love, faith, and building together.
Thanks for stopping by—let’s explore, grow, and live boldly together.
