Welcome to Introverts of Portland! My aim for this website is to be a corner of the web that introverts can share life experiences. When you’re an introvert, you can often feel awkward, weird, or just on the sideline. Here’s the thing though, while we may feel awkward sometimes, we each have so much to contribute to our community.

My Story

The idea for Introverts of Portland came to me while I was in one of the darkest times of my life. I had hurt my back months before and was impatiently waiting for the surgery that would take my pain away and hopefully give me my life back! I was bedridden, my loving boyfriend taking care of my even need. Thinking helped me forget the pain, and as an introvert, my inner mind began questioning and debating how I wanted my life to look once I was better.

I wanted to use the skills I already possessed to create a business that had a big vision, one that would inspire others to become more involved in our community. I’m a blogger, I’ve been a book blogger for ten years and have no plans to stop. I also have a heart to help others. No matter how much I volunteer, this void never seems to fill up. Combining the two became the perfect fit. The ideas for posts I could write, people I could inspire and encourage, learning of business and non-profits around town who were doing good themselves inspired me. I had to make this a reality.

So yes, this website is my online business. It’s the new job I created for myself, my dream job. A small corner of the interwebs where I can write and share what I find inspiring in Portland. A place for introverts to be heard and encouraged as well as empower themselves and use their big hearts for good too.

You can expect posts on:

Spotlight posts about people and business that are following their passion and adding to our community. Spotlight posts can consist of an interview, photos, and the story behind the person/business.

Community Events posts will highlight local Portland, Oregon events around the city and general Northwest area. Going to events is not generally an introverts cup of tea, but sometimes it is worth putting down our book and tea and going out to explore and discover.
