Provocations
I've always been curious.
I love surrounding myself with experiences, influences, and inspiration that makes me think.
To that end, I offer you provocations that have positively affected me in forest bathing and beyond, in hopes you might find some revelations of your own.
Bereavement, Hope, & Healing for Annunciation
A playlist of healing music by Motz Studios
This playlist was created for the Annunciation Catholic School & Church community - where my daughter attends school - after the horrific mass shooting on August 27, 2025.
​
I am making it available permanently for anyone to bookmark, listen to, share, and heal.
​
It's titled Bereavement, Hope, and Healing.
It is my hope that these songs help comfort anyone who may need it in the wake of such a tragedy.
Music
Music shapes my life. I can find the right soundtrack for any mood. I love the hunt, the creativity, and the meaning involved in shaping a soundscape. But most of all, I love sharing these discoveries with others! As such, I'm offering a little tidbit of musical inspiration for those who might be curious in hearing something new. These are tracks I absolutely love, from all different genres.
If you find something you love too, add it to your library, as this list will be updated monthly.
Put those headphones on and go for a ride!
If you missed a month, or just want to experience the width and breadth of these playlists,
I've archived them so you can hear everything. Check them out here:

Books of Note
I read quite a bit. I'm always trying to expand my mind with something new, fiction or non-fiction.
I agree with President Truman, who said:
“Not All Readers Are Leaders, but All Leaders Are Readers”
Here is a list of books that I've found fascinating and useful.
This list will be updated as I add books to my shelves, so check back regularly.
