Find It In Las Cruces – Local Businesses Newsletter
Find It in Las Cruces is a free monthly newsletter I created to help people discover local businesses, hidden gems, and things worth checking out around Las Cruces.
The goal is simple: give local businesses more visibility and make it easier for people in the community to find places they may not hear about otherwise.
The newsletter will always be free for readers and free for businesses to be featured.
Right now, I’m waiting for enough local businesses to sign up so I can put together the first issue. If you own or run a business in the Las Cruces area and would like to be featured, I’d love to hear from you.
You can learn more, submit your business, or recommend a business at FindItLC.com

Reiki Master
I became a Reiki Master in 2019 after experiencing firsthand how meaningful Reiki could be in my own healing journey. I originally turned to Reiki as a way to cope with the effects of childhood trauma, and over time, it became a source of comfort, grounding, and connection for me.
Because it had such a positive impact on my life, I wanted to learn how to share that same sense of peace and support with others. Becoming a Reiki Master gave me the opportunity to do just that, offering a gentle, compassionate space for people seeking relaxation, balance, and a moment to reconnect with themselves.
If you’re interested in a Reiki session, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out through the contact form and tell me a little about what you’re looking for, and I’ll get back to you with more information about sessions and availability.
About me
Hi, I’m Arden! A writer, Reiki Master, and lifelong creative who always seems to have more projects in progress than I probably should.
A lot of what I do is rooted in the things I care about most: storytelling, healing, curiosity, and making things that feel meaningful. I write across a variety of genres and ideas, and when I’m not working on a story, there’s a good chance I’m making something with my hands, experimenting with a new project, or already planning one of the millions of things I want to try next.
I’m also an AuDHD, exvangelical transgender man living with chronic pain, OCD and Bipolar Disorder, and I’ve experienced deep childhood trauma within my family. Those parts of my life have shaped the way I think about identity, resilience, and the many different ways people find their place in the world. Those themes often find their way into my creative work.
At home, I share my life with my Cane Corso, Misty, and two cats, Littleone and Kittcat, who provide equal amounts of companionship and chaos.
This website is a little collection of the things I make and care about. Mostly, this is a place for me to share what I’m working on and hopefully send a little creativity, comfort, and weirdness out into the world.
