On the Other Side

This might be the least SEO-friendly entry in this journal. Yes, there are certain words and key phrases that drive search engines toward you. But this post is about something else.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to make a documentary that shows facial expressions in response to social media posts. Sometimes I feel as though much of the culture’s turned addict, all walled up in a prison of mirrors — the best, truest thinking says the opposite of addiction is connection.

I coordinate social media for a non-profit. If our posts don’t bring people together (not just for viewing), why have them at all? If cults of celebrity, personality, and unbalanced interactions edge out real, nourishing exchanges, what’s the point?

I’m not sure what any of this has to do with web design for musicians creatives solopreneurs in Atlanta, GA (there’s that long-tail keyword!) — but maybe, maybe if your gift calls for it, a comprehensive, stunning, real site that feels like you feel, sounds like you sound — can bring your people closer to you and each other — over time, trends, and the turning of the world.

And if you recognize the Kansas song in the title, hello!

I’ve long been fascinated with shape, color, & symbol, and how they envelop human stories and voices. Bringing decades of experience in music performance, broadcasting, and clinical work, I understand the needs of creatives and heart-centered solopreneurs who want to communicate their vision in an artful, genuine way.

A certificant of the Chalice of Repose Project® Contemplative Musicianship Program, I play and sing folk and classical music.

I love being with trees, instruments, books, loved ones, and yarn ~ mostly offline.
