If I told you how many attempts it took to write this, you’d probably know everything you need to know about me, but let me try my best to tell you more. The picture you see here took me 4 hours to figure out how to do, I’m that many years old. I have like two pictures of myself amongst 726 images of my daughter (Harper) and my dog (Poppy). As someone who loves photography, I do not like having my picture taken.

I’m originally from Michigan, I love that I have midwestern roots. I now live in Northern California and I love it for a lot of reasons, the main one being how unbelievably beautiful it is. It makes having to sell body parts to afford it bearable.

I turned 50 this past year and I just started to feel like I want to document my life more. To have a place where I can share my thoughts and the experience I’ve collected along the way. It could end up being an echo chamber, and that’s fine, I talk to myself all the time as it is. If someone happens upon here and connects with parts of it, then I'll be very happy to have them come along for the ride.

With love,
