I’d like to re-introduce myself. I’m Smartie and this is my blog.
I started this blog back in 2012 (I think). During that time I was going through a pretty dark period in my life and I used this blog to keep myself sane. I committed to search for a thing of beauty every day this way I could keep myself from spinning out of control. I was a single Mum and I needed to be present and strong for my daughter, and this is where I captured all that I found.
Since then I added posts here and there, never really getting back into regular posting. Now I’ve been drawn again to this place, and now I find that I’m ready to share again what I discover about me and the world around me.
So pull up a chair, and enjoy!

A beautiful write up, and such a wonderful idea for a blog. Thanks for sharing these light bulb moments! I can’t wait to read more!
Thank you Rachel!! I too am a penniless traveler (like your blog states). Actually, I’m just penniless 🙂
