I'm Marianne, a longtime freelance writer, reader, and lover of books. I’ve written for Cosmopolitan, CNBC, Redbook, Good Housekeeping, Yoga Journal, Alanis.com, and more. My main beats are personal finance, digital marketing, and mindful living. When I’m not steeped in the content marketing world, I’m writing poetry and leading journaling workshops. I believe it’s through writing that we begin to know ourselves and make meaning of this life. Mary Oliver put it best:

Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it.
