Meet samantha
Hi, i’m saM
& I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m a lover of travel, great food, creating, big laughter, spending time with loved ones, words, and simple, slow living. I hail from the woods of central NC, and all my closest friends call me Sam. Welcome, kindred!
My hope is that while you’re here, you’ll feel at home and find some encouragement and inspiration within these pages for whatever season you are in today. While there are helpful life tips and fun inspirations, you’ll also find some deeper thoughts as we go to those undone places in ourselves and in life, where things aren’t always picture perfect and we’re all a little bit messy. There’s a lot of beauty there, too. Maybe some of the best kind!
I’m an explorer at heart. I’m constantly in search of joy and beauty - wherever I go, in whoever I see, and in whatever situation surrounds me. I experience it in the ordinary, the spectacular, the sacred, and in the gritty and difficult things, too.
There is gold to be found right where you are. the process of uncovering it is always worthwhile, even though it’s not always easy.
Writing has been the most consistent way for me to search these things out, to process my thoughts and the world around me. I’m so happy to welcome you into this space as I continue to do just that, and invite you to do the same!
This web-home exists as a portfolio of my past and current writing (everything from poetry to short essays on faith, travel, and life), an active blog and newsletter, a writing service for businesses and entrepreneurs (aka - website and social media words!), and an interactive series of writings by women from all different backgrounds and stages of life.
I’m so happy to be journeying along with you!
