Welcome to Root&Rise

Root&Rise is a weekly letter from my life in Alaska.
A simple, ordinary life shaped by steady routines and sudden shifts.

I write from the familiar rhythms of family and friendship,
the reliable (yet always changing) seasons, both around and within me,
and the small surprises that keep things interesting.

I share what I’m learning, what I’m letting go of,
and the tools that help me meet life with a little more courage and curiosity,
especially when it gets messy.

Every Sunday, I send out a new issue in a reliable format:
a personal story and a few resources that are helping me navigate whatever life’s tossing my way.

Nothing fancy. Just real things that are working for me right now,
offered with humor, heart, and a simple message.
Here’s what helped me. Maybe it’ll help you too.

Come as you are.
Take what works.
Leave what doesn’t.

And whenever you’re ready, come back.
I’ll be here, writing from this lovely Alaskan life, still figuring things out and still just doing my best to show up for whatever is in front of me. Moment by moment, with grace, grit, and a sense of humor about it all.
