  • Recently, I applied for my dream job: writing for an animal advocacy organization. This little thrifted piggy is a symbol of my passion to encourage a gentler world for animals. When I was in college, I became an ethical vegan, started an animal rights club, and organized a well-attended screening of the documentary "Earthlings." Afterwards, my mother told me to close my eyes and hold out my hands. She placed this tiny creature in my palm and said, "Take care of me." Naturally, my eyes swelled with tears, as it was an acknowledgment of my commitment to giving a voice to the voiceless. Fingers crossed I have the opportunity to do that while getting paid! 🤞 #animaladvocate #animalactivist #ethicalvegan #pursueyourpassion #beavoice #changemaker #writingforchange #womenwriters #femalewriters #thislittlepiggy #sentientbeings #govegan #dreamjob

  • ✨New on the Blog ✨ REFLECTIONS ON SOLITUDE. On the perception of being alone, and rethinking how we represent a solitary lifestyle. ••• In coming to understand, accept, and even cherish this atypical part of myself, I have thought quite a bit about what it means to be alone, and the good and bad of a solitary lifestyle. Most recently—like since the day before yesterday—I have been rethinking how I might refer to my aloneness. And it all began with a moment, a reflection, and a spark. ••• Read the full post on the blog. { Link in Profile } #solotravel #solotraveler #solitary #alonetogether #alonetime #foreveralone #onmyown #independentwoman #independentlife #singlelife #singlelady #singlewomen #childless #seektruth #seeksolitude #minimalism #futurecatlady #powerofone #onevoice #travelalone #dinealone #explorealone #happyalone #femalewriters #womenwriters #femaleartist #womenwhocreate #womenwhowrite #empoweredwomenempowerwomen

  • My grandfather and I spent the day enjoying one of my most beloved cities: Tucson, Arizona. A few years ago, I called this city home, and my heart tells me I will someday return. Tonight, we had some local brews at one of my favorite spots: @tapandbottle. Tomorrow, we begin the second half of our road trip! #roadtrip #roadtrippin #roadtripusa #roadtrip2017 #bucketlist #grandfather #granddaughter #tucson #arizona #localbrews #beerlover #beerlovers #travelgram #travelmore #southwest #southwestlife #sheisnotlost #dametraveler #wanderwoman #livefully #livethelittlethings #travelwriter #cheerstous #cheerstolife #goodmemories #momentstoremember
  • A sweet little notebook from my travels to Lyon, France, earlier this summer. I love that it's locally made from 100% recycled paper. While I'm a pretty simple cook and can eat the same thing for weeks at a time, I think I'll use this notebook for collecting my most delectable and savory vegan recipes. #travelfinds #stationeryfinds #stationerylove #stationeryaddict #stationery #paperlove #papergoods #pear #writemore #writeonpaper #recipenotebook #notebook #rosey #livebeautifully #livecreatively #livesimply #locallymade #recycledpaper #travelwriter #vegan #veganrecipes #lyonfrance #madeinfrance #madeineurope
  • This road trip with my grandfather has been a hoot. The other day, he asked me if I had any music and I put on Chris Stapleton, but for him that was too modern. So I asked if he liked Dolly Parton and he said she was okay. Then I remembered I had good ol' Marty Robbins in my downloads and he got excited—gun-slinging country western is where it's at. But I told him he had to finish listening to Dolly Parton first. 😂 And yes, there is an old lady inside of me that adores the adventure, romance, and freedom found in old country ballads. #martyrobbins #gunfighterballads #countrywestern #countrymusic #oldwest #wildwest #roadtrip #roadtrippin #roadtripping #roadtripusa #roadtripmusic #grandfather #oldschool #takingitback #PAacrosstheUSA

And 30 ways to express yourself while living out of a suitcase. ••• While it can be difficult to develop a creative practice in an unstable environment, the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual nourishment that comes with a transient lifestyle is worthy of the challenge. Thus, I have committed myself to exploring and refining my creative expressions through simple and portable avenues, and to finding inspiration and clarity in the limitations. ••• Read the full post on the blog. { Link in Profile } #creativelife #artistslife #writerslife #wanderlustlife #gypsylife #travelingartist #ontheroad #suitcaselife #artstagram #writersofig #artistsoninstagram #writersofinstagram #creativecommunity #portableart #wanderwoman #wanderandwrite #creativeideas #writemore #createmore #expressyourself #exploretocreate
  • Early this morning, my grandfather and I embarked on a three-week road trip to all the places he's lived or has history in the US. Near Thompson Falls Dam—where he used to work—I found a most adorable and promising tiny house in one of my favorite colors. All I'd need is a little window. ☺️ #PAacrosstheUSA #tinyhouse #tinyliving #tinyhome #tinyhousemovement #livesimply #seekthesimplicity #onmytravels #onmywalk #wayfarer #dametraveler #sheisnotlost #wanderwoman #simplicityeverywhere #thompsonfalls #montana #travelwriter #bucketlist #grandfather #roadtrippin #roadtrip #roadtripusa #ontheroad
  • On my travels, I make a point to find local stationery shops, and walking into @assemblyoftext in Victoria, BC, was like walking into a dream. My friend @jillbrac (pictured) and I were tickled by the row of letter-writing stations complete with typewriters, stamps, pens, and paper. I'd once thought of doing something like this at a farmers' market, and seeing it here has inspired me to make it happen one day. #textlesswritemore #livethoughtfully #livebeautifully #livethelittlethings #seekthesimplicity #pursuepretty #thatsdarling #darlingescapes #typewriter #vintagetypewriter #typewritten #writingstation #writemoreletters #sendsomelove #sendmoreletters #sendmoremail #snailmail #snailmaillove #snailmailrevival #snailmailforever #snailmailrevolution #travelgram #onmytravels #stationeryshop #vancouverisland #explorecanada #victoriabc #slowtravel #sheisnotlost #dametraveler
  • Growing up, my logical brain and creative brain liked to debate about each other's worthiness. Sometimes they still do. But that is because I live in a culture that values richness + rightness in a way that I often do not. My hope is that creativity is the way of the future, and not just as a craft but as a mindset. #tinythoughts #quotestoliveby #quotesgram #artquotes #livecreatively #creativelife #artstagram #writersofig #creativeentrepeneur #powerofart #inspirationalquotes #femaleartist #femalewriter #rightbrain #leftbrain #becreative #liveyourdream #supportthearts #supportlocalartists #artinspires #artheals #artempowers #writingblog #lifestyleblog
  • There are times (more often than I'd like to admit) that I scroll through Instagram with little focus or intention, liking images impulsively without absorbing them or reading their captions before moving on. When I notice this behavior, I make a point to pause at each image and read its caption. And I'm so glad I did during my adventures in Canada this past week. Turns out, @leevosburgh shared her visit to @holdgeneral in Victoria, where I was headed at the time. Here, in this perfectly simple + sophisticated shop, I found something I'd been looking for: a high-quality, ethically-made wooden nail brush. It's from Germany and it's absolutely gorgeous. #darlingescapes #seekthesimplicity #pursuepretty #minimaliststyle #simplysophisticated #sophisticated #ethicalfashion #ethicalstyle #simplestyle #simplehome #minimalisthome #woodcraft #madeingermany #madeineurope #madewithlove #travelgram #thatsdarling #livethoughtfully #livebeautifully #liveintentionally #livecompassionately #onmytravels #dwell #apartmenttherapy #minimalwaste #zerowaste #sustainableliving #victoriabc #vancouverisland
