Welcome to the blog “living a liminal life”
with Jamie Richards.

This is a site where I explore transitions, borders, boundaries, and identity.

    About Jamie Richards, Writer

    My name is Jamie Richards a non-binary, queer person who, when not sitting down to read or write, you will probably find me hiking here and abroad.

    Coming from a past life in education and organic farming, I like to explore how life’s one constant is change. The constancy of change means we are always on threshold of something new and often unknown. This liminal space is found along geographic spaces, borders, frontiers, ideas, identities, and life’s transitions.

    This blog is part travel writing, part history, part memoir, and part reflections on life’s transitions and how these all weave together.   

    Living a liminal life:

    reflections on liminality

    The change, transitions, and flux of our lives and of our planet are reality. To fight to deny this inevitability of this leads to the frustration of wanting things to stay the same or perhaps to get better. But the reality is that we are in-between places; the river is continually flowing. These in between places are liminal spaces, and this blog is dedicated to my exploration of those spaces and figuring out how we can find the beauty in and the peace of those spaces.

The Bell family, for over a century, were willing to move and settle the leading edge of our frontier. This blog will explore how one family lived and thrived as pioneers.
