About journeys on the journey

We’re all building the plane as it’s flying — trying to figure out what it means to live a life while the days tick by. journals will be a place where we can wrestle through some of that together with weekly-ish newsletters. I’ll share what makes up my life as it comes and there will be a little bit of everything; books, travel, health and wellness, the daily grind, relationships (marriage, parenting, adult friendships), and miscellaneous little musings.

Support me!

When you subscribe, it’s like saying, “Hey, Liz, I’m here!” This is a place for me to flex my writing muscles and knowing you’re here following along will hold me accountable to that.

If you enjoy what you read, it helps a surprising amount if you leave a like or comment on posts or forward the page to a friend. If you’d like to support me further, I’d love it if you updated your subscription to paid.

Most content is free for everyone for a few months after publication, but paying subscribers have access to occasional more personal posts and the full archive. By upgrading to paid, you’re also sending me a vote of support and encouragement to keep writing, and it means a lot. 

Regardless of how you show up, I’m glad you’re here. Thanks :)

About me

I’m a gal in her mid-30s living in a little house in Seattle with my husband, daughter, and our dog. I’m a “grown-up” still shirking responsibility and seeking as much adventure as possible.
