My Journey...
why I write and create
I was born and raised in a small coastal town near Puget Sound. That was a long time ago, where my love for nature, writing and creating art began.
I met my husband there and he instantly swept me off my feet. We married and moved to his home state of Texas where our life together blossomed.
When the nest emptied, I pursued my writing through blogging, freelance and book publishing. It was like connecting the dots and opportunities were everywhere.
This was an amazing period, but as time went on I felt a profound shift within myself. So, I decided to take a step back and process.
Eventually I switched gears and published a new blog under my name. This space moves at a slower pace, away from the hustle side of things where I can center my thoughts.
This blog is about encouragement and creative living, two elements that reflect my heart.
My blog has become a place for readers seeking honest encouragement. These posts are personal, set on sharing the good without overlooking the difficulties life can toss our way.
I offer a variety of topics including themes like, Authentic Living and Discover Your Gifts.
This brings me to creativity, that twinkle within I view as our gift and how we put things together. I think too often we forget that everyone has been blessed with the ability to create something.
For me, this blessing fell into a new season when words and making art gently harmonized. It's been amazing and when I envisioned drawing again, I also discovered watercolor painting. Both mediums are now part of my present.
My faith and nature are blended into the process and a constant expression in my work. Something about the countryside fills my heart with gratitude; I truly can't imagine living any other way.
Life is just simpler, some might even say peaceful...
Because I enjoy writing, I have added space for other creatives. This is where I share their gifts and journey, these are stories we can all benefit from.
An artistic rhythm has taken root here, it's about celebrating life and encouraging the essence of goodness and creative living.
