It feels like it\u2019s taken me an eternity to boil it down. Really it\u2019s just been 30-something years. (No way I’m updating this About page every year, so feel free to just take a guess.) I\u2019ve gone down so many career paths that are worlds apart, trying to figure out what that thing is that I\u2019m made to do. Turns out I was asking the wrong question. It was never about what I\u2019m made to do, but who I\u2019m made to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I look back I realize that, regardless of the job I held or the activities I was involved with, all along I was trying to make things better. What I would call more beautiful. I wanted everything I touched to be a little different, impacted because I left a meaningful mark on it. I’ve tried to do this in my time in the performing arts world, as a mechanical engineer, a researcher\/editor, in various administrative roles, as a worship leader, singer\/songwriter, teacher\/speaker, coach, homemaker, and wife. I’m pretty positive I didn’t succeed every single time, but it’s always what I was aiming for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The idea for a blog has been inspired by the season my husband, Nathan, and I are currently in. We’re from Atlanta, but we’ll be spending the next year or so as traveling nomads (which started in August 2020). I plan to capture tidbits from our travel, as well as share stories and thoughts about life and what I\u2019m learning along the way. For me, many times that ends up coming out through some type of art, so I’ll share that too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you feel welcome and inspired here. I also hope that you allow yourself to feel the full spectrum of depth and lightheartedness that I do while writing it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little travel. A little life. A little art.
Hopefully a lot of beauty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
