Greetings!

I’m Kimberly Iacoponi, and here’s a bit about me.

Raised in a small town in upstate NY, I spent my youth running through fields, swimming in lakes and rivers, and catching butterflies, snakes, crayfish, and frogs.

I love animals, nature, and critters except mosquitoes, tiny black flies, and ticks. I’m a DIY enthusiast, avid gardener, and love to upcycle, go to yard sales, create Ikebana inspired floral arrangements, and browse thrift stores. I enjoy reading, writing, learning new things, trivia, meditation, mantras, Yoga, and kickboxing.

After completing high school, I attended college and became a nurse. In my late 20’s, I met the man I would eventually marry and have children with. We saw the world. I became a stay at home mom. The marriage was good until it wasn’t. When it ended, my reinvention began.

The nest was empty, and my grown children out in the world making a difference. It was time I did the same.

I needed to discover who I was, what past experiences I could build upon, and what I wanted. The future was in my hands.
