My name is Paula Baines. I am a blogger, researcher, and photographer.

I launched my blog Curious and Creative on January 1, 2025. Over this last year, I have explored numerous topics such as curiosity, creativity, personal blind spots, failure, purpose, and recently loneliness. When my curiosity beckoned, it took the lead to new topics.

Each of the blogs includes a list of resources that I used to help write the blog. Check out some of those resources. Perhaps you will find a new area of interest of your own.

The theme for 2026 is “Embrace Intention.”
