Well hello there! I'm Rachel. Engaging conversationalist, and a confessional who doesn't judge!

Nice to meet you!

Well, that's not exactly accurate. You're being introduced to me, but I haven't met you yet.

I hope that changes soon!

Let me tell you a bit more about what you'll find if you decide to make that happen:

A Midwestern millennial, former non-religious homeschool student, lover of music, audiobooks, podcasts, sustainability, cooking, slow fashion and vintage style.

And other people's secrets! *giggle* That's where the confessional part comes in. But more on that in a moment!

I love good coffee, though I mostly drink green tea nowadays, because it gives me that morning boost without the jitters.

I'm an indifferent gardener, but hope to improve.

I write creatively, and hope to improve at that, as well. All writers do, I guess! At least, I'm told, the good ones!

I'm a contemporary woman of course, but I have quite a streak of luddite in Me. It manifests itself in several ways, the most relevant being that I miss the time before texting became the default means of communication between people.

What ever happened to voice-to-voice conversation?

Do you relate?

Well, you're in luck!

Unfortunately there's a stereotype out there that a beautiful woman can't also be smart or interesting, but without sounding arrogant, I'd like to think I'm both!

If you like the idea of getting comfortable with your favorite beverage and engaging in the lost art of a good chat, the trading of ideas, interests, goals, daydreams, or just the random thoughts that you've always wished you could muse about with another person (and maybe a little gossip), consider giving me a call!

Now back to the confessional aspect: I'm excellent at keeping secrets, and have served as a repository for many as well! Do you have something you've been longing to talk about, but you can't or are not yet ready to share it with those in your three-dimensional life? Consider me as a sounding board and confidant!

But most importantly, I know I'm not alone in thinking that true connection between people has lapsed a little bit in this modern age. Over my time as a conversationalist, I've learned that for a surprising number of people, someone to talk to, someone to connect with, is coveted!

One caveat: I subscribe to the same parameters that most people observe at the Thanksgiving table with regard to subject matter to avoid, namely politics and religion.

But other than that, I think I've introduced myself adequately.

Now it's your turn!

Oh! And be sure to listen to my voice sample above if you want to know what it will sound like from my end when we chop it up together!
