Hi, I’m Carol – a mid-life(ish) writer, wanderer, and recovering over-thinker who has a knack for tripping over both literal roots and metaphorical life lessons. Here, I explore the intersection of the mystical and the mundane, where daily life meets divine insight.

Because midlife isn't a crisis - it's a chrysalis. It's the time when we shed old skins, question long-held beliefs, and sometimes, accidentally start talking to rocks.
