I’ve always found comfort in the quiet — whether it’s watering my plants, watching animals go about their day, or sitting with a good thought for longer than I probably should. This blog is a home for those moments, written gently and honestly.

I’m a single mom trying to figure it out. Life can be messy, beautiful, overwhelming, and soft all at once — and I try to write through that truth. I also love to travel when I can, and dream of doing more of it when life allows.

You’ll find musings here about how I’m feeling, small joys that stuck with me, and reflections from wherever I’m standing at the moment. It’s not always polished — but it’s always real.
