Oh, Life

Short stories on Life & Death

About the Author

Hi there, thanks for being here.

If you don’t know me, my name is Olivia, and I’m also known as Oli. I live out west. Here are some stories on that.

I have a passion for creativity and art. Writing and photography are my go-tos.

Our natural world inspires wonder, and life’s journeys inspire hope. I write about exploring both.

This blog was inspired by and is dedicated to my parents, John and Lynn.

Their heavy loss  left me with a determination to live, loving as many of the moments I have left.

In the isolation of their grief, a desire for connection was born in the form of writing short stories on navigating these precious and raw moments in life.
