Kristy Murphy in her own words:
“I’m an adventure seeking, nature loving, mama of two. I am shaped by my experiences in the outdoors, taking inspiration from our natural world and moments shared with my loved ones. Most of my writing is a way for me to reflect, slow down, and earmark these memories before time passes by. Mainly, I aim to notice and be astonished every day by the small details of love running through the current of my life, and share this joy with others.”

Here is Kristy's story from the March 2023 event in Traverse City, MI
