    Welcome To ‘Word & Sole’

    by Marisa Donnelly

    I've always believed in the power of words: to connect us, to teach us, to show us who we are. I'm Marisa. I'm the author of this personal blog and what I like to call my internet 'home.' Here you'll find my deepest musings, thoughts, practical guides, and content from the heart. Thank you for visiting!
