hi, i'm esther
i have a habit of becoming interested in things and then taking those interests a little further than anyone reasonably expected. sometimes that means learning a new skill or starting (another) business. sometimes it means writing two books, publishing them myself, hosting a launch, and deciding i've had quite enough of the publishing industry.
i like stories, particularly the peculiar ways our lives intersect. i'm drawn to nature, unfamiliar places, and conversations that stay with you long after they've ended. i journal, i wander, i write, and occasionally, one of those things leads to something i hadn't planned.
i'm still figuring things out. fortunately, i happen to enjoy that part.
there's more, of course... there usually is.
i believe in making things simply because you want to. not everything needs a business model, be aliged to a five-year plan, or turned into a strategy for reaching your target audience. sometimes an idea is worth pursuing for no other reason than the fact that it won't leave you alone; but i also believe in doing the work.
to me, creativity is something to steward. good stewardship requires a spirit of excellence, not the kind that demands perfection, but the kind that approaches the process with reverence and respect for the opportunity and responsibility to create.
lightsoup, volumes i & ii
two volumes of short stories in verse, written in reverse.
stories about what we inherit, what we carry (and what we mistake for ours to carry), and what we must return to in order to be released.
these books are no longer available for purchase, but i'm grateful they found their way into the hands they did.
i fell in love with helping people bring their ideas to life when i started ghostwriting for friends and family in middle school. since then, i've had the privilege of exploring that passion through opportunities that have taken me all over the world.
whether it's a gathering that needs a thoughtful facilitator, a workshop or training that could use a fresh perspective, a bride who could use an extra pair of hands, or an idea you can't quite shake, perhaps it's time we put our heads together.
