Hello! Welcome to Kinship Journal. A blog that focuses on the connections we have with each other and the kinship mankind has with nature.

Kinship is an outpouring of continuous reflection on the necessity of nature and books, with a desire to provide an avenue for hope and encouragement. Instead of division, the goal is to prioritize a mindset of interconnection and empathy.

The topic of Mindful Living is about intentionality and finding a rhythm and function that suits each person. Reading Reflections uncover the wisdom, insight, and knowledge that come from books, and they also touch on quotes that resonate deeply. Travelogue offers a peek into my journeys and into how different countries and cultures are more alike than usually thought. Wellness will explore physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual practices, struggles, goals, and intentions.

San Diego, California, is where I currently call home alongside my husband and two children. Even though I live in Southern California, my childhood in the Pacific Northwest is deeply etched in my soul, and the spirit of my younger days in the vibrant city of Chicago still beats in my heart. 

When I am not writing articles on interconnectedness and empathy, I am also photographing nature, writing a historical fiction book, and managing a devotional blog that explores the deeper meanings and misconceptions of popular biblical verses.
