About Me

Happy to make your acquaintance! You can call me Stacy. To the outside world, I'm a psychologist and scholar, but my inner world is riddled of literary quotes, collage art and verse. I've earned 5 degrees in Counseling, Psychology and English Lit. Recently I opted to retire from all things psychology-related. My focus now is on family, home-schooling my daughter, personal exploration, and creating art / writing poetry. I am taking my writing hobby seriously, several novella's are in the works as well as poetry collections. I have also created a profile on Fine Art America so others may collect and enjoy my original artwork as prints or on various merchandise. I have traded the stress of a 9-5 workday for a life filled with calm, inspiration and creative reflection as well as plenty of quality time with family. I created this blog as a space to record the things I love in my personal downtime. I adore the arts, tarot, poetry, books, and life! I enjoy walks in the dark, moon bathing, collage art, and dreaming. I practice yoga, read my runes, write in my journal, surround myself with candles and chant the verses of Plath (not really the last part, but it does sound romantic, eh?) I love creating art with Photoshop Elements. I have been working with Paintshop Pro and Photoshop Elements since 2009. I adore creating original photo manipulation, I feel each artwork is a world all it's own. Art has served a therapeutic form of expression for me over the years. Just recently I began to play in AI prompts and artwork, I enjoy watching my words come to life in the form of images. I have been writing poetry since the tender age of 14. My earliest poetic influences were Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath...I adored one for her simplicity, the other for her dramatics. I also adore Anne Sexton and the lyrical poetry of Ani DiFranco...these (and other great women poets) have served as fine instructors for me over the years. I hope I at least do them some justice. I put all my daily practice writings (by me) here....enjoy reading! Be gentle though, I bruise easily.
