Hi, I'm Austin.

welcome to my creative corner of the www

I’ve been a potter and a photographer, and I’ve walked from Georgia to Maine. I’m an extroverted introvert; an introspective human, interested in exploring writing and challenging myself to move and create outside my comfort zone.

Welcome to My Website

This site explores lifestyle design, personal and business development, creativity, and the tools that help along the way.

❤️‍🩹 TIME in the present moment; is HEALING

See above title. It is breath, living in the here and now and not the past or future. What puts you in the present moment most easily? Walking, running, cooking, gardening? Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash

🧠 IDEAS generate IDEAS

As I capture more ideas through this writing project, I’m noticing I have more ideas to write down. It’s interesting, and like a snowball rolling down a hill gathering momentum and mass I’m curious to see…

🛼 MORE discomfort = MORE happiness

It’s recently (more clearly) come to my attention that seeking discomfort = happiness vs. the other way around. Culture would have us believe that comfort is the name of the game, but I’m finding that’s…

🎡 CHOOSE Less Stress

🎯 CREATING vs Consuming

The West trains us to be consumers; of things and media. Try balancing that out with more creating; putting your attention on something you find creatively interesting. This is not about being a social media…

What I'm up to now

I’m pretty heavily dug-in to working on this site, which I’m building in WordPress and Elementor. I don’t have a lot of website experience, so it’s a lot of trial and error. Also, I’m working on developing a daily writing practice which I will share here.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how best to set this site up, so I’m inspired to write; ie to design it in a way that supports or is conducive to the kind of writing I want to create. I know this will be a bit of trial and error. It’s fun to consider a “blog” that doesn’t look much like the traditional blog template. I’ve always been excited about new perspectives and ways to do something outside the box of what you might expect.

Also, I’ve been thinking more about travel and work and how they might overlap. Think digital nomad, but a slow version. It could be a way to explore new places but at a pace where I could really get to know vs. a quick fly-by vacation.
