When I am not blogging, I am often found creating, whether through color or words. I love to garden and to keep chickens. I am an AmeriCorps alum, and a grad student currently earning a Masters of Science in Environmental Education. My time is precious, and so is yours. Thanks for reading my blog, and please feel free to comment.
