one world • many stories
Start here: a blog about nature, music, art & culture
As a child, my family spent weeks driving through the Blue Ridge Mountains in our van with a rainbow unicorn. We visited artists from my parents' gallery and participated in mindful Unitarian retreats, all while camping surrounded by natural beauty. Life is more conventional now, but I guess some things don’t change. My own family has traveled along the parkway, hiked and climbed in Dupont Forest and kept open-minded beliefs.
welcome!
I’m Stacy Jo. Hop into the blog! I started this space to save moments, questions, and small observations that felt too important to ignore. Over time, it has also grown into a place to learn to more about creativity, nature, and reestablish priorities: One World • Many Stories. Visit about the chick to learn more about me.
