Imparted Joy LLC was born after publishing my first book, Liv's Seashells.

from there, the momentum kept going.

my dream had come to life + i knew then that more important messages would continue to be shared.

the journey to create is lifelong + brings peace.

the vision i foresee is to help guide other aspiring authors/artists to find a way to self-publish their own conceptualizations of hope + joy.
