Community | Building Meaningful Connections

Updated 10.8.25

Sharing personal experiences on parenting, relationships, education, and family life, with curated ideas to nurture meaningful connections. Through thoughtful advice and community-focused activities, my goal is to support and strengthen the bonds that matter most.

Blog Post Highlight: Amid the chaos of work uncertainties, income struggles, and financial pressures, the lessons I’m learning in this new season of work may be the bridge that many of us need right now. Read the blog post here.

Losing Income Is the Worst and What To Do Next was created in response to my own financial crisis as a single parent and lower-income provider. The ideas I share are practical and grounded in the reality of navigating incredibly vulnerable circumstances.

Plugging Into Community: I’d love for you to be part of my email list — it’s where I share weekly notes and encouragement for your creative living journey. Each week, I open up about real moments from my own life and the lessons that come with them. Last week, I shared a reflection question with subscribers and received such a thoughtful response that I had to share (with permission, of course).

What recent community-building moment, connection, or experience have you had that felt aligned or uplifting?

"I stay connected with community via my arts and craft classes at senior homes and at the libraries.  I love doing this and am seeking to broaden my horizons as far as where and when I teach.  I would like more of it.  I plan to get out to festivals more as a vendor once I get my art pieces done and I'm excited about that!
