Stories of Becoming

by Isis Lauren

A quiet collection of essays about motherhood, dreams, books, psychology, and the ordinary moments that shape who we become.

Why I write

I believe ordinary moments often contain extraordinary wisdom. I write to notice them, understand them, and share them—one story at a time.

Why i write

I didn't set out to build a website.

I set out to remember.

To notice the ordinary moments that quietly change our lives — a conversation with my daughter, a dream before dawn, a sentence in a book, a rescued peacock crossing the mountain road.

This website is where those moments become stories.

Begin here

Every story begins with an ordinary moment.

A Letter Now and Then

I don't send many emails.

But when a new story is ready, I'd love to send it to you.
