About - HOLY ORDINARY

If you are a seeker, the kind of person who enjoys wandering landscapes internal and external, who loses all sense of time and space in the creative act, who wants to live a full life and appreciates all the small miracles in a day, consider us friends.

What started as a travelogue has become HOLY ORDINARY, a collection of writings about whatever life brings and working with the creative force within all of us. I hope it will inspire you to create the life you want to live.

subscribers! here’s what you get—in addition to my gratitude:

FREE SUBSCRIPTION

💛 POSTS :: Essays, notes, and gathered cultural ephemera, published a few times each month and delivered to your inbox.

💛 SOURCE MATERIAL: Collected insights on creativity, surrender, and making a life (digital download) :: A colorful collection of 108 insights on creativity.

PAID SUBSCRIPTION

💛 AUDIO POSTCARDS :: A monthly collection of thoughts, insights, stories, excerpts, meditations, maybe some IRL situations, maybe some thoughts on astrological weather or the occasional song—essentially everything that didn’t make it into a finished, written post—delivered to your inbox. Think of it as a voice note from a friend who’s been driving through the desert and thinking too much—or in bed with pneumonia and learning something about surrender.

💛 HOLY ORDINARY: Journal prompts for all seasons (digital download) :: A 56-page collection of more than 130 journal prompts gathered across years of my own practice and organized by theme (solitude, distraction, the body, creativity, place, grief, etc.).

💛 THE ARCHIVE :: Years of essays and collected ephemera—the full record to read at your own pace.

💛 plus everything in the free subscription
