What the blog?!
- because stories are at the heart of art and creativity
Yesssss, I keep the blog here because even throughout the sporadic bits of this journey, I do regularly hear from folks with notes of appreciation for the stories, poems, tutorials, etcetera that y’all come across on here. It also serves as an archive of this multifaceted creative journey. I lean toward story and connection, so without the blog, I don’t know if I would have had the mirror I needed to pull me through the hard times.
Early on in this journey, I took to calling myself a curiosity curator and this blog is a testament to that creative curiosity that I hope keeps igniting a spark in all of us —myself included. We’re better people when we allow ourselves access to our creativity, culture, and art. May we stay thriving in our abundant creativity. Life isn’t always easy, and our stories will save us in all of the ways we choose to express them. —c/s Rosanna
