Begin here
a blog about nature, music, art, culture & adventure.
As a child, my family spent weeks driving through the Blue Ridge Mountains in our van with a rainbow unicorn displayed on the front. 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 some things never change. My family has lived near the Blue Ridge Parkway, spending time hiking, rock climbing, and keeping an open mind.

I’m Stacy Jo. 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 page to learn more about me.
