Hi there! Are you wondering why I have a blog?

I love creating things and reflecting on process; not just the creative journey, but also the experience of living and being human. As often as possible, I write about something that has been on my mind. I hope sharing my insights, stories, discoveries, tips, and musings here can help other people on their life journey too.

I think acknowledging how challenging, relatable, funny, weird and messy our lives are will ultimately make our time on earth more joyful and inspired. Writing this blog is one of the vehicles I use to live a more fulfilling, healthy and beautiful life!

Thanks for joining me on this ride and subscribing to my newsletter to receive an email notification when I post my latest blog!
