I met a man, hands tangled in strings,

playin’ outside the French Quarter, said
New Orleans was his spiritual home.

Noontime in the French Quarter By Patrycja Humienik I met a man, hands tangled in strings, playin’ outside the French Quarter, said New Orleans was his spiritual home. He played a spiritual on how many strings, I do not know. Seeds to be sown. Plucked them like bows. Shootin’ arrows across from Café du Monde, through th…

Today, I’m headed on a road trip to connect with my gravity-bound self again. To touch in to my divine feminine, as it were—or, my creative force, my inner Shakti, my innate wisdom. Not to tap on a keyboard, but to tap in—to me.

As part of the frequent-traveler set who works primarily online, I feel all too often that I’m trying to fit awkwardly into a masculine-driven entrepreneur’s world.

Every day, I feel compelled to speak marketing language, to do “last-minute” sales, to price tier my products, to give a false sense of scarcity. Buy now, it won’t last! Just emailing to say my workshop closes in 24 hours! Playing the game, as it were. The game that all the pros recommend, that we see our friends do, that sometimes make us cringe quietly at others and ourselves.

And, I can’t help but wonder—am I relinquishing my inner wisdom when I do this? How much of this is me, and how much of this is me flailing about trying desperately to win a game I’m not even sure I want to play?

Facebook has officially approved our request to change the name of this page to Twine Magazine (from Twine Collective)! We felt this was a much better fit moving forward. :) Yay!

We'll be moving through our most beloved stories from issues past as we whip up some new delightfulness this Spring/Summer.

Here's a narrative interview we did with Richard Betts, author of the Scratch and Sniff Wine Guide—and find out which bottle of wine made him blow off law school to start his journey of becoming a Master Somm.

An Intimate Chat with Wine Entrepreneur & Master Somm Richard Betts Master Sommelier Richard Betts talks about ditching law school for his passion, the clichéd snobby somm, and how his grandma’s ginger snaps changed...

This is Amy, the founding editor, creator, and destroyer.

Maintaining a print outlet was very difficult, draining, and something I wasn't prepared for financially.

But that does not mean the values of Twine don't still exist, need to be heard, and need to be spread.

With renewed ideas and methodologies, we're bringing Twine back as an online media outlet for real, sustainable ideas in the areas of place (travel/community), palate (real food) and pleasure (connection).

If you're interested in being involved, email me at segreti @ gmail.

Thank you.

So important!

"Colorado writers should know about Amy. And should be reading (and writing for) Twine."

Aw, thanks guys!

Amy Segreti on about.me I manifest best when I travel, which is often (10-12x per year). I look for the same things everywhere I go—a great bookstore, an inspiring connection, Greek food, and a hipster to make me a pourover.
