Author

I am publishing my first book, The Simple Path of Journaling, in early 2023! It’s fully written and is currently being edited.


Creative Blogger

I write posts on meditation, the mind, the desert, slow living, death, minimalism, writing, the creative journey. Every topic has a personal depth to it, an honest look into the bones of my own life.

Daily Journaler

I journal (almost) every day. I wrote a book about journaling (it’s in the editing process and will be published later this year). Journaling is a big deal to me. Here’s the most recent excerpt from my journal:
