Maggy of Regarding Dew
Gentle Musings is all about being creatively seen and celebrated in our multiplicity and sweet humanness. Come with me as I weave the micro with the macro and explore how themes of creative gumption, belonging, desire, and fulfillment exist within the idiosyncratic space of everyday culture. Both for you and for me, Gentle Musings is about welcoming the fullness of life again and again—gently. Gentle Musings is a project under the creative studio of Regarding Dew.
