✨Welcome to the world in my head. Part Mr Rogers neighborhood. Part slow wander in the woods. Part endless poetry library.
You don’t have to rush your way into strength. Some courage grows quietly, like learning to breathe deeply in a world that wants us winded even before we begin.

I’ve been thinking about the strange way resilience grows in the small moments where we keep going even though we’re wobbling. The world sometimes sees this as weakness. But it isn't weak at all. Each tiny, deliberate choice becomes a stitch that strengthens us.

You walk past the mirror and pause, catching your own image. For an instant, the girl who used to braid wishes into her hair and believed anything was possible looks back at you. In that moment, eye to eye, you both feel found.

Sometimes the smallest moments show us the way home.

We carry entire seasons inside us. The way summer sunshine feels on our shoulders. The way autumn comes with falling leaves. The way someone said our name, and it felt like being seen. Nothing loved is ever truly gone. #thewonderhabit #creativity #wonder

This morning the light slipped across and pooled on my desk. It felt like the day whispering, “You’re allowed to begin again.”

Notice the times beauty catches you off guard. A light beam dances on the table top, the leaves fall like Simon just pressed the golden buzzer, the steam rises from your mug. Take a deep breath and pause there before moving on.

I’m new to these parts. So happy to explore the sky! I’m an author writing about the connection, courage, and curiosity rooted in wonder as a daily practice and the power of our unfolding stories.

Can we take a moment to appreciate what a world we live in? That the earth can hold every season all at once. There is always space for who we are growing into.

Everything changes. You have always been enough. A slow Sunday scroll.
