Hi, I’m Kristina (with a K, obviously).
I’m an ex-classical violinist turned researcher and certified life coach coming back to the arts after having a dumb accident with my left hand (code words: kitchen blender, fingers and surgery). I once forgot I loved writing, but I never stopped dreaming of it. This is my way back — through essays about memory, travels, seasons, and the quiet and not-so-quiet moments that shape our lives.
I believe that in our rushed world, pausing to notice small details — the turn of a season, a line in a book, a morning light — helps us remember what we love, again.
Why subscribe?
This space is for anyone who wants to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the joy of noticing. Here you’ll find:
Essays every Sunday — longer reflections to linger over coffee and especially tea (I’m that person, yes) to inspire, fill you and make you take action. Here’s one that my subscribers loved the most
Shorter notes midweek — observations, fragments, or thoughts sparked by what I’m reading or noticing around me. Here’s one with some reading recos, too!
I hope they bring you joy, make you smile and inspire you to try out new things. I always appreciate conversations with you in the comments, so don’t hesitate to ping me with your ideas, too.
My big dream is to publish a book of my short stories. So, shall we start?
Welcome, and thank you for reading.
