“Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.”
Franz Kafka

Are you feeling lost creatively? Not sure where your muse is or why you can’t find your creative flow? You are not alone! I’m on a journey of rediscovery and reconnection with my muse - the “little girl” inside who sees the beauty in the extraordinary ordinary. Along the way, I’m exploring a slower way of living. I’m stopping to pause and wonder. I’m making time for wandering, wondering, musing … and for the people and things that matter most to me in life. The simple things.

“I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ask. And that in wondering bout the big things and asking bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, the more I love.”
Alice Walker, The Color Purple
