Welcome to Our Creative Community
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.
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.
