A Simple Life
Compassion creates opportunities for success for all. Respect creates opportunities to learn from each other.
A quiet little New England life of knitting and nature.
Come with me as I explore the area around me. From the endlessly quiet walks through some of my favorite trails, to the bustling metropolises of the region. Celebrating the people and cultures found in each place. With breaks for flowers, bugs, and knitting. I'm prone to a good side quest full of adventure and usually laughter and music.
I've found that the best way to explore is by jumping in and chatting with whoever crosses my path. I've gotten to meet some really neat people over the years, and I'd love to share them with you!
My mission is to show you the beautiful communities of New England!
I think that thriving communities are the basis of a thriving country.
New England is rich in history, not just that of the people who landed on the shores a couple of hundred years ago, but of the first humans who walked through these lands alongside our animal residents.
From our beautiful old growth forests singing with the calls of birds to our concrete jungles ringing with the cacophony of a city waking up. Rivers coursing through the landscape, starting in the mountains and ending at the Atlantic Ocean. It's easy to see why our predecessors wanted to stay and why it's still such a densely populated part of the United States.
There is beauty all around us, sometimes we just have to look a little harder for it.
