Hello and Welcome to my little space here on the Internet!

I’m Lisa - a violinist, teacher, reader, writer, cooking enthusiast, former health coach, dog owner, wife, mother, expert procrastinator, constant thinker and worrier, and ponderer of life’s mysteries. I live in Providence, Rhode Island, where I work as a Resident Musician for Community MusicWorks and am very gradually learning how to balance life as a working mother, ever since giving birth to a beautiful, high-intensity little baby in 2021. This website has been through several stages, as I have evolved and changed what I want to use it for. Currently it’s a home for my blog writing and the occasional recipe share.
