About

Hi, I’m LJ!

I’m an artist, writer, and wonderer.

I started this project in February 2024 out of a personal need for more joy and lightness in my days, and from a desire to devote myself to a creative practice to lift my spirits during an especially hard winter.

The goal was simply to write three small joys from my life in a weekly Substack series.

For 78 weeks, I shared three essays along with photos and sometimes videos or artwork. The project became not only a container for me to experiment with my creative process, but also a space for connection and community.

Week after week, I received replies from readers who shared how the practice of noticing OOH LA LA! moments impacted their lives and shaped their perspective.

Now more than ever, in a world that can feel heavy and fractured, I believe that turning our attention to wonder and whimsy is a radical act of hope. This ongoing project is a devotion to imagination and joy, an offering toward the world we are dreaming into being, and to the belief that creativity, beauty, play, and poetry will help pave the way.

A note on timing: I prioritize thoughtful communication and sustainable work rhythms. I generally respond within 1–2 business days, though occasionally it may take longer.

Can’t wait to hear from you!
