About Julie Hedlund

One woman (wife, mother, writer, reader, runner, hiker, skier, cook, and so on…) who gave up a well-paying, flexible job in which she had built up substantial knowledge and goodwill in order to pursue a lifelong dream of writing for a living (no doubt making far less money).

I live in beautiful Boulder, CO with my husband of ten years, Phil.  We have two amazing children.  Our daughter (age 7, alias: Em) and our son (age 4, alias: Jay) are a constant source of inspiration and joy.

I blog about my writing struggles and successes, books I read, parenting, my family, my dog, my attempts to stay fit and healthy, places I travel, and just about anything else that piques my interest.  Unfocused? Perhaps – but my goal is to get myself to write everyday about topics that matter to me rather than build a box around myself.

The picture on my header is one I took on a recent trip to Jackson Hole, WY, which is probably my favorite place in the world.  My husband and I took our first vacation as a couple there, and from then on we knew we wanted to live in the Rocky Mountain West.  Now here we are!

Still want to know more?  Here is a list of 100 Random Things about me.  Also, my first post goes into more detail about why I started the blog.  Hope you enjoy it and stick around for the conversation!
