About

I do a lot of things fast: I walk fast, I talk fast, I cook fast (like a kitchen tornado), I work fast, and I admittedly tend to drive on the faster side of the speed limit. Writing, though, has always been a way to slow down. Sure, I type fast, but the process is slow. Writing allows me to think things through, to reflect, to connect and to share…things I don’t make enough time for.

Slowly, over the last few years, I started to truly understand that ‘more’ and ‘faster’ didn’t always equal better, and found that I needed to prioritize opportunities to slow down in an effort be content exactly where I was planted.

Right now, I’m planted in northern Virginia with my husband and our dog. We are enjoying this season of stability and rhythm after the insanity that was a few years of moving around. This blog is a catalogue of the thoughts, experiences, discoveries and recipes that come out of it.
