the obstinate daughter

About

Molded by a career in the creative & performing arts, I bring a vast & nuanced world to each project.

I live in the mountains of Appalachia — in an old house, on a quiet street, in a sleepy town — with my husband and son. My work and family fill my days with purpose and joy as I seek to find beauty in the everyday.

When I was a little girl, my grandfather used to scold my stubborn nature — “you obstinate child!”, he would say, inevitably with a stern tone in his voice. I wasn't a bad kid, but I was very stubborn. Fast forward to today — my son, a stubborn kid in his own right, is learning about the world around him
is an online journal devoted to slow living — to being fully present, living with intention and purpose, and making much of the beauty in everyday, ordinary life.

This space celebrates reverence and irreverence. Simplicity and complexity. Exotic and familiar. Sacred and mundane. Extraordinary moments lived and everyday tasks done with thoughtfulness and care.

The beauty of life is that it is ephemeral. Temporal. Here and now. So live — make the most of it. Breathe in the changing tides. Savor every scent, every texture, every detail. Be happy for this moment.

"Let the beauty we love be what we do" — Rumi
