A Modern Hippie Blog About Life, Family,
Creativity, and Outdoor Living
Start Here
I started this space to save moments, questions, and small observations that felt too important to ignore. Over time, it has grown into a place to reflect on small victories in community work, reestablish priorities, and use creativity in innovative ways.

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, and I kept my family’s open-minded beliefs.
