A Community of Creative Courage
I don’t think it’s happenstance that you landed on this page. Not for a minute.
The door’s open, the kettle is whistling its own wild tune, and there is a seat with your name on it.
Welcome to this little corner of the internet where I’m finding home is less about location and more about vocation… the things we must do because they well up inside us until they overflow.
For me, that’s writing, making, and learning.
For you? Maybe it’s gardening or knitting, baking or haiku. Photography. Whittling. Exploring. Loving your people. Rescuing animals. Showing up to your life however and wherever you are.
You’re a story carrier, a light bearer, a rhyme weaver. You chronicle worlds in your stitches, scribbles, and sketches.
This is a safe place to be who you are. Here, you get to lean into the things that light you up in a creative community where you already belong.
When the world defines your worth by how productive you are, making space for wonder & creativity is an act of resistance.
Imagine a room filled with tables and chairs. Light strands twinkle as they crisscross the space above our heads. The aroma of freshly ground coffee (or steeping tea if you prefer) fills the air.
Some of us watercolor. Others write a one-line poem or story starter. Someone knits. We all gather around tables to start creating.
Each one of our projects looks different. But we are connected to something bigger than ourselves. That’s what this space is like.
We are a community of courage, making wonder and kindness and beauty a habit. Enough doomscrolling. More hope posting.
You don’t have to shave off parts of who you are to fit inside someone else’s box. You don’t have to fit in at all because, here, you already belong.

What Makes Prompt & Ponder Unique?
The Wonder Habit® is on the bestseller list in Education on Substack. Prompt & Ponder is a way to go deeper together.
This is about making living itself our finest work of art. The prompts are simple but crafted to be strategic.
I blend the insight of a creativity coach, the research of an academic, the soul of a storyteller, and the heart of an artist together to help you unlock the power of being more connected to yourself and your story.
Our community of creatives has everyone from those who have never picked up a paintbrush or journaled a line before to full-time artists and writers making a living from their craft.
Prompt & Ponder is as practical as it is whimsical. It is designed to help you have the tools you need to get unstuck, stay inspired, and live with wonder in the face of a noisy, distracting world.
In a world of AI sludge, you get personal, fully human encouragement from yours truly that connects right where you are. We are carving out one of the kindest corners on the internet that is filled with Mr. Roger’s helpers.
You don’t have to do this alone. We are here to be your emotional support Substack.
