Unwitting Detours™
REAL LIFE. STRANGE DETOURS. BIG QUESTIONS.
Appalachia is home. Wonder is the journey.
I’ve always been curious about the things we almost walk past.
I’m Lisa, an Appalachian storyteller with my head in the clouds and my boots on the ground. Working nights deep in rural Appalachia taught me to notice what most people pass by: strange lights above the hills, old places holding unfinished stories, and the unexpected turns that ask us to rebuild life.
Here, curiosity stays honest. I share what I witness, what I wonder about, and the questions that remain, along with the very real work of rebuilding places, confidence, and a new life.
Welcome aboard. There’s more to notice than we think.✨
