More about me. You asked for it... So, why am I here? Well, I can only say why I'm here, on this blog, and someday I hope to answer to the Big question.

This space is like an external hard drive for my brain. I store stuff here - memories, ideas, prayers - basically to get things off my mind so I can free up processing space for new ideas. I used to have a big backlog in my brain drain which now flows into this space.

I need to keep things moving. So I use this blog as a creative outlet and a reminder to let things go since there's always more (good stuff!) to come.

Mostly, it's a place for me to hear my own voice and give my thoughts a place to rest. And to keep track of my own life. It took me a while to figure out what this blog would even be about. Teaching tips, crafty stuff, healthy recipes? It turns out to be whatever is roaming around my heart - usually something about new life, growth, and God.

I'm motivated by beauty (everything/one is beautiful somehow) as you can see here. I went through an "extended phase of disappointment" which these two songs pretty much explain. Then I believe God gave me a heart transplant and now everything is okay again :) I'm still figuring things out and am excited to do that with you.

Thanks for taking the time to be here.
