Welcome to Becoming Kindlight

Hello Friend,

Thank you for taking the time to check out my website. I want to first introduce myself and share the backstory of Becoming Kindlight. 

I'm Ash-- a mother, wife, artist, full time 8-4 gal, life long student, IVF warrior, mentor, friend, and nature lover. 

Kindlight came to me during a dark time. At the peak of our family's painful IVF journey, I was looking for a book or a journal to reconnect with myself and to process grief and loss. I couldn't find what I needed, so I created it for myself and named it Kindlight, as it was shining a kind light on what I needed to work through.  During this time, I also reignited my creative practice and started painting again. Between journaling and painting, I created a new world for myself to step into when life was too much. 

As I started to plan Kindlight's debut, I was overcome with feelings-- fear, imposter syndrome, I'm not good enough, etc... Becoming Kindlight is my response to that fear. It is my soft launch into existence.  It is a place for me to publicly practice vulnerability through sharing my art, my writing, and experiences. It a place for me to gain the confidence I need to share what I have been working on.  

I am so grateful for the incredible people I have met in the creative social media space.  I've never met more sincere encouragers who truly want to see others succeed just as much as they personally desire. 

Thank you for reading this! I am so happy you are here. 

Ash
