I’ve always been one to ramble. When the world shut down in March of 2020, I turned to long walks to tamp down the anxiety and strain. I walked without an agenda, without somewhere to be. The world slowed down. I started documenting the interesting things I found along the way and sharing them over social media. The small everyday magic I captured brought a little joy, a little connection, amidst all the isolation.
