About Penn and Paws
A place to honour resiliency and embrace the present.
I'm exploring the voices of my past while staying rooted in the present- a process of reconciling identity, healing, and reclaiming joy.
I am a queer, non-binary human with a history grown from adverse childhood experiences, addiction, and the ongoing navigation of bipolar disorder. I show up to life each day as an educator, creator, and writer- but more than anything, I am a hopeful spirit who deeply loves my dog Meeka.
It might sound cliché, but the outdoors is where I find peace and stillness. It's where I find my breath, clear my mind, accept the grounding energy, and sense the next right action.
My journey has been long, filled with both literal and figurative obstacles. This space is where I share my truth, my softness and my vulnerability.
My goal? To find peace and joy within this unfolding path- to continue to grow, and to give hope along the way.
