CautiousCreative, that’s me, Katie Strandlund.
I’m a 20 something whose heart is the place where faith, art, worship, the Church, and relationships collide.
I have a love/hate relationship with the word “creativity” but I’ll use it until I find something better.
Creativity, which I think requires risk, is part of my nature.
So is being cautious.
I’m on a constant journey toward more risk and less caution…more trust and less control.
Maybe someday I’ll be able to drop the “cautious” bit.
Then again, maybe it’s supposed to be there.
I believe relationships always win.
I love people…at the end of the day that is my heart.
I pray that is woven into everything I do.
I prefer to ask the question “what’s your story?” rather than “what do you do?”
Because in people’s stories I hear and see God and work and it amazes me every single time.
I love technology and figuring out how to use it without it using me.
I am an organization nerd who loves asking the tough questions.
I’m passionate about seeing others put their big ideas into action and facilitating an environment that helps them do that.
I am an idealist on a journey to love and embrace tension.
I’m also on a journey towards more relationship and less religion.
I have hope because He is faithful.
Good coffee, bridges, skylines, Mexican food, and sunsets make me smile.
It’s the little things.
Music, good conversations, ocean wind and waves, the night sky, and mountains are good for my soul.
I’m learning the art of living.
I’m wrong more often than I am right.
I do not claim to have all the answers…in fact most of what I write about I will probably still be processing and wrestling with myself.
But, I invite you to walk the journey with me.
For the rest of my story, check out this post.
