I’m Traci, and I write The Wonderlyst.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved discovering new things and sharing them with others. At the intersection of art, beauty, and nature is where I am happiest, and where my curiosity tends to thrive.

At the suggestion of many friends, two years ago, I began sharing ideas for cultivating wonder through The Wonderlyst. This weekly guide to wonder features everything worth a look, a listen, a read, a taste, a lust, a think, or a journey. It was born out of my (almost) insatiable curiosity and a belief that wonder and awe are not indulgences, but essential forces that help us feel more alive, more connected, and more hopeful.

Research increasingly shows what many of us feel intuitively: moments of wonder can reduce stress, spark creativity, deepen empathy, and expand our sense of possibility. I see this play out every week in the notes I receive from readers who feel re-energized, inspired, or simply reminded to look up.

Each week, I send out a dozen wonder-filled ideas that will have you bookmarking websites and social feeds, filling up your calendar, podcast queue, music library, and stacking your nightstand.

I am convinced we all need more wonder in our lives. If The Wonderlyst helps you slow down, look closer, or feel a little more open to the world around you, then it’s doing exactly what it was meant to do.
