introductions

Hello there! My name is Kayla. I reside in Michigan with my hubby and two fur babies (doggo & cat). I originally grew up in New Mexico, but desperately wanted to live somewhere where they had long winters. I am an adventurer and artist; a dreamer with my head stuck in the clouds. I crave far off places, new cultural experiences, and meeting beautiful people. 

But like many others, I have hit roadblocks of fear, frustration, overwhelm, and lack of motivation that kept me from living an abundant life. Pressure and failure are great teachers.

Over time, I've created a framework for multi-passionate creatives to wrestle, wonder, and work out my God-given gift. I love meeting other MPC's in their ruts and helping them cultivate and manage their ideas instead of being overwhelmed by them.

I believe in creating from a place of vulnerability and openness. I will trust the process and see it through to the end. I will not be afraid of the unknown, for it is simply an opportunity for new discovery. I will admit my mistakes, be quick to ask for forgiveness, but will not accept defeat. I will choose to think the best about people instead of assuming the worst. I will always continue to improve upon my work. I will be hungry for knowledge and will not fear wisdom or critique.  I will aim to be honest with myself and will not trade truthfulness for public affirmation.  I will stand firm in my convictions but will not belittle or tromp on people in that stand. I will create with authenticity as my foundation, redemption as my motivator, and connection as my goal. This is my manifesto.
