It’s been a while since I’ve written on a blog regularly. Over the last few years I’ve written thousands and thousands of words, but not in one place. I’ve thrown them up over on Instagram, have dabbled on Medium, have shared through my newsletter, and wrote endlessly on first drafts. I’ve felt fragmented through it all, longing for one place that could hold everything together.
Low and behold, a website can do just that. So here we are.
Welcome to this space, my new online home. It’s similar to my previous site, but to me it feels a little more grown up, sophisticated, and professional. You’ll find access to my newsletter (a sign up as well as links to previous letters), Instagram, my books, the podcast on creativity that I host with my brother, as well as contact forms all in a central hub. It feels like home.
Since last posting regularly, much has changed in my life. It’s been over two years since Farm Girl made it’s debut, a pandemic has riddled our daily lives, and my family and I moved north two hours into Maine. I hope to write about it all, including how life has changed so much, and yet so much remains the same. Where we live now holds greater opportunity to slow down and savor life, as we’re surrounded by hay fields, a meandering river, and woods a plenty. Things move a bit slower here. It’s a more physical existence than where we previously lived. From gathering wood from the woodshed on snow-covered mornings to gathering lettuce from the garden for our dinner to walking home noisily after seeing a coyote in the field while on a dog walk in the fields, it’s all part of a life we didn’t know we needed, or even wanted, until a year ago. Every bit of life informs the rest and noticing that is part of living a creative life. I can’t wait to share it all with you here.
