I’m so glad you’re here! If we could sit down together today, I’d make you a cozy cup of tea or coffee or cocoa in my favorite floral mug, seat you in my favorite armchair (named Victoria) with my softest blanket (named Lola), and ask what makes you feel most alive. We’d dive right into the heart of things because that’s just how I roll. :)
I’d tell you I feel most alive when creating—through writing, photography, junk journaling, crocheting, playing the piano, or making bread with my persnickety sourdough starter, Gwendolyn (I have an odd habit of naming inanimate objects). I’d also gush to you about the latest book I’m reading, and I’d probably recommend the gorgeous magazine that’s currently feeding my soul: Bella Grace. It’s all about finding the beauty in imperfection and looking for the magic that can be found in the everyday—pursuits that fuel my very heartbeat.
My favorite armchair, Victoria
If you asked what else I enjoy, I’d tell you that if I’m not curled up with a stack of books, I might be found jotting down a poem on my sage green typewriter (named Beatrix) or carrying my three boisterous offsprings' water bottles on hikes through the woods (their water bottles prefer strenuous trails). Or you might find me busy homeschooling, reading aloud to above-mentioned offspring, re-organizing baskets of books around my house, overthinking, or walking in silver-glittered rain (my favorite!). But more than likely, you’d find me cuddling my cat, Hobbes (Calvin &) while dreading the two activities I scheduled for this week during the three minutes I was feeling extroverted last week. Alas…
Do stay awhile—your tea needs to cool a smidge, which will give us plenty of time to get to know each other. :)
