“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” — W. B. Yeats

Hi there,

My name is Candace, and I’m a writer and artist based in Montevideo, Uruguay.

We are living in scary and uncertain times. It feels like the world, even life as we’ve always known it, is changing faster than we keep up with it.

I felt compelled to start Here and Now to create a place where I can share things that I hope will be of help to you during this crisis and beyond — or, at least, things that I hope will bring you a brief moment of comfort and calm. 

That includes things such as the travel-inspired Sleep Stories I write for the popular meditation app Calm, as well as my first book, Stuff Every Tea Lover Should Know, from Quirk Books — because is there anything more soothing than a hot cup of tea?

Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue.

If you know others who might enjoy a little calm, tell your friends!

I’m glad you’re here.

Be well,
Candace
