How long have you been blogging? I officially started blogging — meaning on a real blog platform — on Midsummer’s Eve in June of 2008 with thekissinglessons.com. Long before that I’d been writing ‘blog-style’ on my old homegrown blog-page since 2005. (whew!) At desultoryandmellifluous.com, I have amassed a metric ton of content in ‘four seasons’ – or html pages – of unorthodox ‘blogging.’

What blogging platform do you use? I started on Blogger and moved to WordPress because that’s where the magic happens.

Do you blog for business? for pleasure? I wake up torn between wanting to enjoy my experience in the world and wanting to blog about it. My dream job has always been to be a professional blogger and to inspire people to really live at their edge – expanding to their fullest potential. I love to write about all the juicy insights I come across throughout the course of life and share that with the community at large.

How does your blog help the local blogging community? Love.Life.Art.Work. has grand visions of inspiring others to cultivate the creative – and to remember that we are all artists bringing our ideas to life into the world in ways that include the deepest desires of our hearts and the savviness of the uber-connected online spheres. Contributing to the shared voices online connects us to our humanness via story, and all via the magic of the internets – as if technology has become an extension of our very selves in a very big and powerful way by allowing us to connect with a wider network of people and places and accomplish amazing things together.

What are your hobbies and interests? Yoga, the mindful life, taking myself for long walks and hikes, artifying artifying artifying, anything with coconuts, manifesting cookies, permaculture, late night spontaneous guerrilla art missions, magic, the raw food scene, making collages out of the Patagonia catalogs, game nights and deep belly laughs, knitting felted things, naps, beauty in all its forms, the richness of life lessons learned in relationships, the notion that horses are human-whisperers, the fragmented lyrical poetry of ancient greece, and ‘enjoying myself and taking up space.’

What do you do when you are not writing online? By day, I do web development. By night and weekends, I paint and stoke my own creative inferno with the aforementioned hobbies and interests. In between all that, I help people bring their ideas to life through the medium of collage with my manifest sessions (themanifestsessions.com) and get their webside story and online presence all bright, shiny and in alignment with who-and-what-they-are and their work in the world. Sometimes I miss my couch, but not too often.
