Hi, I'm Meg Conley

I am a researcher, writer, and caretaker. My work appears in places like Harper's Bazaar, The Guardian, BBC and NPR. 

Pocket Observatory is where I follow Mary Oliver's instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it. 

Currently, I am paying attention while experiencing triple negative breast cancer. 

Pocket Observatory is a shared practice of attention reclamation.
