🍬 Sunday Candy 🍬

Sunday Candy is my experimental creative playground where anything goes. This is where I share my world with you; whatever is swirling around my mind, straight from my pulpy heart.

Here, you’ll find a patchwork of written pieces – personal reflections, poetry, essays, vignettes, playlists, and whatever else I want to share with you. I’m enamored with mixing the analog with the digital, so don’t be surprised if you see handwritten notes, typewritten words, doodles, paint, or Polaroids. 

Sunday Candy is a living, breathing, evolving space. It’s my place to play. This means what I share, when I share it, and the way I share it is an ongoing experiment.

“I’m inspired by Sandra’s capacity to reliably serve a mood. It’s one thing to dedicate oneself to a particular kind of content, but to consistently deliver a specific feeling, now that’s a whole other category of skill as a writer.”

— Rick Lewis, Pivot to the Podium

"There is a through-line for writers that I enjoy reading, and that trait is vulnerability. Don’t just give me stats and data; I want to be able to understand you better from your writing. My friend Sandra is genuinely exceptional in that regard, and Sunday Candy strikes a difficult balance of being light and fun to read while still being personal and illuminating.”

— Dustin, Sabbath Sessions
