Dear Reader,
In this very real world — sometimes I say what others can’t.
Carrying the heart of an immigrant child, I have a passion for Jesus and our beautiful earth, people, and history. I love nature and have a huge heart for dog rescue.
As a visual artist I enjoy the image that speaks without words.
I hope you find light and honesty mixed into stories, poetry (you might find some rap poetry) and opinion pieces. Much of my inspiration comes through music, art, and photography. I love the creative process of writing between the lines — matters of the heart.
To read more about me and see some of my photography work there is a “Portfolio” in the menu. Also, please check out the wonderful artist/writer contributions in the “contributors” section of the menu and who they are below. I have contributed several pieces to Lighthouse Publication with Alexander Semenyuk.
Through the breath of writing I am deeply thankful for the beautiful friendships made here.
Create to live and live to create,
deb ox
P.S. My little podcast was under “The Family We Keep” (my former Substack title) up until June 22nd 2025. It will go forward in 2026 as My Unframed Life Podcast :)
