Still here.
Just took an extended time away with my family over the holidays. Healing, peaceful and restorative. Excited to get back to it!

Today I reflect on yesterday’s Scandinavian celebration of light, St. Lucia’s Day. 🕯️ 🌲
A light in the dark.
When bleak uncertainty looms in the years ahead. May this season renew our courage, kindle hope, and remind us that even in the darkest times, light endures & guides us through

The rain whispers against the windows, the fog wraps the world in quiet mystery. I cradle a mug of fragrant coffee as I sit in the eye of the storm. It is ethereally, quiet & calm. This fleeting moment, a breath between battles, is where I seek to refill my soul before the winds rise again.

Had a wonderful conversation with a new immigrant who built an amazing family business. In a world full of fear-mongering about immigration, it’s refreshing to return to reality. It’s filled with stories of courage & resilience. I am proud to be daughter of an immigrant. ❤️

Portland, Maine—the trip we had planned to take together as a family before cancer changed everything. I wanted you to see this, Dad, but I’m so grateful that a year later, things are looking brighter and more hopeful than they were back then. ❤️‍🩹

Life feels like a jungle sometimes. It’s wild, unpredictable, and full of the unexpected. Sometimes joy, sometimes sadness, and everything in between. It’s not about escaping the jungle, but finding the peace to face it with courage and clarity.

I’m a lover of many things nerdy & geeky. And, I am blessed to be a wife, mama & bonus mom to two wonderfully wild boys, both with disabilities and kind and courageous hearts even bigger than their dreams. They fill my heart with joy.

Welcome to my little corner of the world
🌲 📖 📷 🐕 🐾☕️ 🐈‍⬛ 🏕️ 🏔️ 🌲

When I’m not dreaming of road-tripping through quiet mountains trails with expansive views, or capturing misty tree filled landscapes, or lighting a bonfire under the stars; you’ll find me exploring Scandinavian culture, snuggling up with a book, outside, or living the adventures of my daily life.

From road trips to new towns and cities, to the foggy salt-air beaches, to pine-scented forests, to taking in the silence broken only by the crisp crunch of snow underfoot in the cold places of this world, I'm always seeking the beauty to be found in the world’s details.

🌲 Hello, everyone! 🌲

Excited to join this space and connect with kindred spirits!

I’m woman who finds her peace in nature’s wild places, adventures big or small, life’s little moments found in the spaces in-between, and the hygge of quiet & cozy moments.
