Can a place we’ve never been shape our fate? Can discovering it unravel, stitch by stitch, the life we’ve known?

This is where I stitch together the journey of remaking a life through art, travel, Morocco and finding a home

  • Loose Threads: memories

    Loose Threads: memories

    Isn’t it funny how memories can all run together. They chase each other down alleys and cobblestone streets so that they become intertwined whether they were ever related at all. And nothing necessarily unites them except a feeling. Riding a train at sunset drinking a spritz and laughing after dancing on the binaro. Passing those…

  • Homecoming

    Homecoming

    June 1 It’s strange. I walk around this apartment as if I’ve already lived here. Or as if a future version of me sent images back to me, and I know it already, so I feel at home in a way I can’t describe. Like I’ve always known this place. This morning I took pictures…

  • Inchallah Lessons

    Inchallah Lessons

    Inchallah is a word that seems to mean a hundred different things. Depending on the situation, who is saying it, your relationship to them, and the tone of voice…it can mean something completely different. If you ask directly, a Moroccan will tell you it means that if God wants something to happen, it will happen.…
