About The Enthusiast

*All I need is a salad... (photo:* *Angie Lipscomb*)

Hi there! I'm Leigh K. Hoopes, a writer and strategist, but above all else, I'm an enthusiast.

I started writing The Enthusiast in August 2022 because I wanted to write about things I loved on a regular basis instead of only writing occasionally when I'm upset or angry at the world falling to bits around us.

I know I should be more "targeted" and "focused" on a single topic or theme for The Enthusiast to "be successful", but that's just not how my brain works. I love so many things and people and places and experiences, there's absolutely no way I would ever be able to pick just one to write about. So each week, I pick five things I've loved and would recommend to everybody, along with some bonus goodies, interesting articles, and whatever else is living in my head rent-free that week.

Here are just a few things I loved in 2022: One Weird Trick for Cleaning a Thermal Coffee Carafe • Pickups For Vets • Cat Magic Punks • Papermate Flairs

And here's where you can currently find me elsewhere on the Internet:

Enthusiastically yours,
LKH
