Day 1 - Welcome to our home

Richmond Hill, Church hill Richmond VA  photo by Steven King

Welcome to the adventures of Steven and Rachelle (and Toby and Stella).  We live in the city and in our own world most of the time.  He sees the world through the lens of his camera, and I see it through the words and soul of this city.  We started this project months ago as he is the homebody and I am always looking for the next adventure.  I quit my job that I loved and prepared to move to CO where I thought I would find where I belonged.  When we started this project, I thought it would be a beautiful way to say good bye to Richmond.  AND THEN, I realized I was falling in love with this city all over again.  Steven, however, would love to stay in the RVA forever- he grew up around here and has always loved the city.  He has traveled the whole country, living in different spots along the way, and ultimately found his heart leading him back home to Richmond.  

When Covid-19 hit and the country collectively started to mourn the loss of the freedoms that we are used to, we realized that we needed a project more than ever.  It is week three of  "social distancing", however it is day 1 of a mandated stay home order from our Governor.   As a country we are all asked to stay home and stay safe in this time of uncertainty.  The beauty is in-between the lines- in between the news clips, briefings, numbers of cases and numbers of deaths. We hope to bring the beauty of our world to your world in this unprecedented time.  

We plan on sharing the beautiful pictures that Steven has taken over the last 8 months around Richmond and our goal will be to write one letter a day throughout this time at home.  Thank you for tuning in and be well everyone!
