Personally, I want the next generations of my family to remember their Holly as fun loving, hard working & compassionate always.
She always worked in her garden; growing us yummy food. She taught us how to grow our own food.
She believed in me regardless of what my dreams were. Starving artist? I always knew I had her support. Surgeon? She helped me pay for school. She believed in her own dreams and that made us reach for the stars in life.
We had a simple life. What we needed always; not always what we wanted. But because of this, we give back.
Professionally, I would like to be remembered for challenging the norm. A change agent. A social justice advocate.
She always gave back to her community.
She always did the right thing, even when it was hard.
I believe in bucket-filling (a little twist on the bucket list). I want a platform to share my artform(s) that already fill my bucket. I have the degree(s). I survived the young child rearing years. I've landed the leadership dream job. It's time to fill my bucket. Focus on what lights my fire. Rebranding this blog (yet again) to meet me where I am at in this journey called life. I will share my creative writing. I will share my photography. I will share my thoughts on this crazy journey we call life. I like to keep it real. I refuse to live up to "the image". I don't use filters. What you see (read) is what you get. I hope you enjoy the read and I will try to balance what I share in a meaningful way. Ultimately, I keep this blog for me. You (my imagined audience) are an awesome bonus!
Mom/ Nurse/ Harm Reduction Advocate/ Hobbiest Photographer/ Freelance writer/ (maybe) a poet {thanks to a recent writing mentor}
