  • My name is Shalagh Hogan, pronounced Shay-La. I'm the mother of a nine and a seventeen-year-old, and this ten year-old blog. I turn 56 this year. My days are spent practicing Creative Soul Living. My hope and joy as a writer, an artist, and an uber-creative, is that by sharing my journey of self-discovery, others will gain inspiration and permission for their own journeys. Creativity is essential to my well-being and, I believe, to everyone's.
