I'm Melinda, based in Mansfield, TX, where I find meaning in small moments: a stranger's bumper sticker in a Kroger parking lot, city hall lit up at night, spider lilies blooming in a memorial garden I planted for my daughter Christiana. I carry grief and humor in equal measure, and I document the world around me with an eye for the quiet and the odd. Ask me about life in Mansfield TX, finding beauty in everyday moments, and grief and healing.
