Creativity is a core tenet of how I move through the world — in fact, I believe that anything creative is an expression of optimism.

Along those lines, I wrote a whole book about this. You can find The Optimist’s Manifesto here and at local bookstores.

I’m also a photographer. I write poetry. I’m a food and travel reviewer. I’ve written a novel. And I love sharing all the great people, places, and resources I appreciate in the world.

I also am the new owner of Hummingway Ranch — the perfect spot to rent for a creative retreat.
