Julie Clawson – Writer, Mother, Dreamer, Storyteller…
Welcome to my creative space where I explore what it means to dwell in the beauty of this sacred present – where I explore our story.
For I believe we are storytelling creatures. Our lives are stories and we make sense of our life through story.
Stories of love and adventure…
Stories of joys and sorrows…
Stories of whimsy and wonder…
Stories of justice and hope…
We explore these stories to find these messages and make sense of our own lives. These stories help us understand and live our own stories well. But it takes slowing down, turning aside, and being willing to encounter the stories surrounding us in this sacred present.
As a writer I enjoy spending that time noticing the stories and exploring the impacts of those stories in our lives – from how stories of injustice are connected to our everyday actions to how stories of hope for a better world inspire us. We are all storytellers and with our stories we can dream together.
When I am not writing, I spend my time in Austin, TX tinkering as a silversmith, dabbling in painting, trying to keep up with my kids and cats, and learning how to navigate life with disabilities. And, when I get a chance, to enter into good stories told in book or film or role played in games. For as a time traveling madman in a box once said, “we’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one.”
