Hello there,

Welcome to my tiny creativity nook. I am subscribed to classic lit, nonfiction, travel, and deep thinking. As an opponent of multi-tasking, I have made a strong effort to instead orbit around a slow inner lifestyle, lived intentionally and mindfully, in an attempt to ask and author in ways I have yet to know. I connect best with those who strive and grow, and have a thing or two to learn from those who chill and go with the flow. I seek to optimize my life toward creating, cultivating, and nurturing.

What am I doing now?
