Welcome to the musings and photographs of a recovering eCommerce strategy consultant who resigned from a full time job in December 2021 to begin a deeper exploration of personal values and purpose.  The initial inspiration to change was a combination of dissatisfaction in my professional role, increasing desire to further integrate personal values into all domains of life, and integrating the emotions resulting from losses in 2020 and 2021.  I enjoy exploring what is self and what is not self, and what can I incorporate and what can I let go.  The daily work is underway to wake up, grow up, mess up, and clean up.

The musings will be raw, opinionated, and reflective of the unsettled state of my life.  The photographs are of locations visit and moments in life that catch my eye.  I will try to provide physical addresses when possible for context and for others to experience for themselves.
