It’s all about connection and intention
I am fascinated with this life; all the experiences that become the stories each of us have to tell. How we are molded by the places we live in as well as the places we travel to, and how our histories have shaped us. The way our experiences continue to reshape us and give us opportunities for growth, both in their individual ways and in the ways they connect us. My intention is always connection. Connecting us to ourselves and to the space that we occupy on this great big spinning ball, and all that truly matters.
I am deeply rooted on eight acres “and some perch” in the beautiful Cumberland Valley; land that has been in my family for eight generations and is a fraction of what we once owned. I will always be at home on this little hill overlooking the South Central Pennsylvania countryside, even if I venture away from it from time to time. I have inherited a love of my history from my ancestors, as well as a deep need for travel and exploration. In the words of Walt Whitman, “I am large. I contain multitudes.”
I am always changing. Discovering. Learning. And I hope that you will be inspired by what you find here.
