LOGOPHILIA | noun. A lover of/collector of words ✍️

I recently came across this term again after not using it for about a decade, and forgot how much I resonated with it. As a writer at heart and creative myself, my photo album is absolutely filled with glimmers, BTS moments, silly faces with my favorite people, and an equal amount of inspiring quotes and phrases, design ideas, and photos of some random hand sketches on scrap paper so I don’t ever lose them.

I used to hide the artistic and creative (and honestly pretty nerdy 🤓) side of myself; it’s not the thing that makes me, “me.” Funny how that works out!

As we transition into my favorite season, I’ve been doing lots of reflecting on this past year - and on how quickly life changes, as a reminder to be grateful and grounded.

If you believe in the woo woo side of life, I’ve had three people (because those woo things always come in 3’s, amiright?😉) tell me verbatim, “it’s crazy how things can change in an instant” over this past week. And it’s absolutely true. I think maybe there’s a universal lesson in that to learn? 😬

This year has been a wild ride of extreme highs and extreme lows - and I haven’t been shy about acknowledging that. Because, as says,
life is like, “hey, guess what?”
And you’re like, “what?”
And it’s like, “BAM!”
More life.

And if you don’t think he’s funny, sorry about it.🥴

Anyway, on a serious note… I’ve saved all of these little glimpses of “words I’ve collected” that have impacted me throughout a year of grief, change, sacrifice, and endless grit and determination. All of those words seem harsh and rough, but in between them there’s been so much light, so much love, and so many special, soft moments that my heart could burst with joy thinking of them all!

So, while not flower related, take what you need! And if you need flowers, you know where to get ‘em! 🫶

That’s how the light gets in.

*if you’re also a little bit of a logophile or writer yourself, you’ll appreciate a deep dive into the many misquotes of the above! Promise you won’t regret the rabbit hole it sends you down.🤪

Because this view deserves a permanent spot on the feed.💜

Starting to feel like this page has become a journal - and to say that’s ironic is an understatement. My triple feature in the spring edition of is officially out and ready for download! 🥳

Visit to download and read about slow living, designing a business around what you love, and my passion for neurodivergent design theory! Also, lots of yoga and inspiring stories, too… 😉🧘🏻‍♀️

Excited to be sharing my heart in places it’s celebrated and to be spreading joy through my work. Every reader gives me fuel to keep sharing my continued studies around the intersection of biophilia, design (both built and landscapes), and mental health - the past few published articles touched more people than I could’ve imagined and hope these do the same! 🤍
