About Me

About Me

Hey, there. I'm Deborah~

Writer. Miner of meaning. Beautiful things seeker. I write about whatever sparks inspiration or makes my solar plexus twirl—travel, art, urban expeditions, and tougher topics like grief and dark history. I don’t flinch from the hard stuff. Mostly, I love to open hearts and ignite emotion.

A little perk if you’re curious

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it."

—Clarissa Pinkola Este´s
