Gardens, pollinator spaces, daylilies, muddy hands, fresh air, and the beauty of living close to nature.

Here, I celebrate experiences rooted in nature, simple living, and letting my inner flower child shine. Learning about pollinators as I grow moonflowers, blueberries, and roses. Tending daylilies brings me quiet joy.

Reflections on culture, connection, and the shared threads that bring us closer together.

Explore the big-picture issues that shape our communities. I share thoughts on books, beliefs, and big ideas. Explore how travel, history, and stories shape us. Learn about Don Caskey and find LGBTQ+ Resources.

Exploring art, expression, and the joy of making something meaningful from the everyday.
The Creative Current is always flowing. I find inspiration in dance, sculpture, mixed media, music, and anything that speaks to the human soul. Take a look at my mixed media artwork, my #MusicMonday picks, and my Classical-ish playlist, too.

Wandering trails, chasing waterfalls, and reconnecting with nature one step at a time.

I pause before a climb. Rock climbing is soothing and intentional, much like playing chess. Here, I share thoughts on life, spirituality, and finding balance. For me, being in nature is a way to reset and reflect. See 'Bring Back You' for mindful living ideas.

I share many family adventures, lessons as parents, and the unconditional love of Ollie, our new lab.

I share honest moments and the beauty found in everyday life. Our boys are now adults, and I write about growth and change. Letting go becomes a new beginning. I embrace life's chaos and laughter. Check out my favorite post: Kale Chips Are Gross
