Patience is not a pause.
It’s the part of the work where roots decide how deep they’re willing to go.

I wrote about the difficulty and the quiet rewards of patience — in creativity, in motherhood, and in the slow, intentional building of community.

If you’re tending something that hasn’t bloomed yet, you’re not behind.
You’re building something that knows how to last.

I am returning to living more boldly, but times feel tender.

So I created a blessing of sorts, instead of resolutions.

A quiet invitation to peace, bravery, curiosity, love, and “enough” in darker days.

If you need a small light today, I hope that this one’s for you:

Do you ever start with a plan… and then curiosity pulls you somewhere unexpected?

I just published a new blog post about creative side quests. Those beautiful, unplanned wanderings that happen while you’re still building the path. The experiments, detours, and small wonders that can quietly change everything.

Goals are important.

Wiggle room is essential.

If you’ve been wandering creatively lately, this one’s for you. ✨

⭐️ It’s the longest night of the year, which around here means extra imagination per square inch.

As a single mom, I’m finding magic in childhood wonder, lopsided crafts, half-baked ideas, and creative sparks that pop up between snacks and bedtime stories.

Read my latest post at www.wildimaginarium.com and let me know what small, strange, lovely bit of magic is visiting you right now?

Drop it in the comments and let’s make this a cozy constellation of ideas. 💫

Curiosity is my favorite compass. 🧭

In my new blog, I’m exploring how curiosity sparks creativity, builds community, and gently nudges us toward braver, brighter ideas.

Hello Lovelies!

I’d love for you to read my newest post below and celebrate alongside me.

Wishing you a magical solstice!

The wee one and I sought out some public art and playgrounds yesterday - now that Nashville weather is starting to be reasonable! The first stop was the public art bike rack "Pedal Petroleum" by William Buffet. We found this piece just past the cool skateboarding crew practicing at the Donelson Station - super cool on all fronts!
🚉
Love finding art in all sorts of special ways here in Nashville, and love that the skateboarders knew and showed us where to go!

Thanks for being my adventure buddy little kiddo! Now off to the playground!

TW: grief/loss

On August 9th my best friend, life amigo, and father of our wee laddie passed away suddenly at the age of 41. This is not how our story was supposed to go, and it is not how Tobias' story was supposed to end.

Though we are grieving, we have to find a way to move through this. So, a dear friend started a GoFundMe (https://gf.me/u/4wnwgj) in honor of the life Tobias wanted for our child, this campaign is specifically set up to help me care for Finn - now in the present and looking towards the future.

💗

Losing my best friend and suddenly becoming a single mum is daunting business at best, and utterly terrifying at worst, so I worked through my pride to ask you, our community, to help us land on our feet.

💗

If you have the means, please consider donating.
If you have the capacity, please consider sharing.
If you have donated, thank you so very much!
And if we havent connected recently, know I love you and am grateful that Finn and I share this world with you!

💗

We miss you T, every day - how could we not? - and though we are heartbroken, we continue. For “What is grief, if not love persevering?”
Rest in power, comfort, and glory, my love, knowing that we, and our love for you, persevere.
