Life doesn’t have to be so complicated, and I’m here to show you how to simplify your life so you can do what you love.
Hi, I’m Mary!
If you’re reading this, our paths have crossed. Maybe it’s the first time, maybe they have crossed before, and maybe they will cross again in the future.
Either way, I know there is a reason you’re here, and I cannot wait to uncover it.
There is so much good all around me,
I choose to notice it.
On my 35th birthday I took my new journal and sat down on the soft white sand of the Gulf Shores with the sun warming my face, the ocean waves crashing into the shore, and silly little birds standing near me, and wrote, “I am so excited about trying out these morning pages, exploring myself without judgment, letting my thoughts flow, emptying out my mind.” Opening myself to the opportunity of becoming a writer.
I’ve always been a writer, I was the 8 year old stapling together sheets of paper filled with pictures, words, and stickers I had to put together, to create books about everything. But then, in college, I got a B- on a creative writing paper, and I started to believe I wasn’t a good writer, so I stopped writing.
But, in 2013, when we took a huge leap and bought a business, I started recording our journey on a blog, and it turns out, I learned that if you want to write, you just need to write.
Over the years, I have used writing, both on my blog and in my journals, to heal myself from deep, heavy grief and continue on a journey to explore my thoughts and feelings without judgment. Writing has always brought me through to the other side and given me hope.
I want to be creative.
I want to live creatively.
I want to share that creativity with others.
My creativity heals myself and others.
