Hello there!

My name is Mackenzie, and I have a love for words. I find beauty amongst them and the ways a single sentence can just take your breath away or move you to tears. I had been blogging off and on for over a decade but three years ago, I felt like it was time to spread my wings and go deeper in my writings, so here I am on Substack!

I have packed quite a bit of life in my decades here on this earth and feel that I have words within in me that need to be shared. My path in life has been random at times, beholden to forces within my control and at times without. I have been through the peaks and the valleys, and I want to share what I have learned. I hope to be an encouragement to those who are empathetic in nature like me.

A little bit about me: I am a writer married to my best friend (he makes me laugh harder than anybody!), raising our daughters in the California sunshine. I am a huge bookworm and my TBR pile is always winning. Coffee is my favorite thing ever (followed rather closely by tea), and that, coupled with a really good book, is my idea of a lovely way to spend an afternoon. I am a lover of a good British mystery, book or film, I enjoy both.

I am a minimalist at heart and slow and intentional living is a balm to my soul 🕊
