Why subscribe?
Dear Reader,
Thank you for checking out The Family We Keep. It's good to explore before you subscribe. I hope you find light and honesty mixed into stories, poetry, art, music *photography and short films.
Carrying the heart of an immigrant child, I have a passion for God’s beautiful earth, people, history and the arts. I will often write through the inspiration of music. I love nature and have a huge heart for dog rescue. These are dire times for humans and animals. It’s through our stories and images that we reflect, grow, find gratitude and a spirit for truth.

I am deeply thankful for the beautiful friendships I have found along the way through the breath of creativity. I am also so extremely happy to announce, this April 2025, future contributions from two light-filled writers and artists. Please check out Jenn and Krissy’s Substacks below. They will be contributing individual works to The Family We Keep — and, on occasion, we will write & publish “collabs” under the title “We Went Out and Happened to Things” — taken from a Leonardo da Vinci quote, “It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.”
Create to live and live to create,
deb ox
