GREETINGS, AND WELCOME
Nice to meet you! But we haven’t met. Nice to see you! But we haven’t seen. It would be nice to know you are there! But I don’t really know.
There’s a lot I may want to share here about myself, and this section may change over time. Currently, I’m experimenting with this site to see where it leads. For those stopping by, I’m curious if any of this resonates with you. If not, that’s perfectly fine. I enjoy creating vivid images with AI and refining them with each prompt—it’s just plain fun. The blog content is also original, so please pardon my writing style. Pasting dialogues with AIs might help sort out my meandering thoughts.
Feel free to let me know what you think and hence make your visit About Us.
UPCOMING POSTS
You may have noticed many posts marked as work in progress. These titles and much of the content started coming together during the pandemic. It will take some time to flesh these out. Why create this site at all? Primarily, it’s a place for me to revisit and decompress, to further develop these posts whenever the daily grind permits—perhaps also to find kindred souls per the mission statement at the bottom of this page.
Below are the three blog posts representing my near-term focus:

CORE VALUES AND MISSION STATEMENT
The core idea of this website is to create digital villages where people can feel safe and appreciated by a lasting community. Creating such spaces enables the interested to contribute and help these efforts thrive. My appreciation of human creativity drives me to experiment here, aiming for sustainability and growth of an interconnected community.
As this site grows, the milestones will shift from being experimental to being reproducible and sustainable, dependent on the goodwill and contributions of those who wish to support this cause. At this early stage, it is sustained solely by me, given my prior experience and belief in this idea.
I believe many of us seek an authentic online experience that connects kindred souls without exploitation. This idea must stand the test of time, with authenticity and integrity, and I am committed to striving for that, despite the challenges.
As I nurture this site, it relies on your investment in awe. I’m committed to “calm marketing” only, and this site’s success currently contributes nothing to my sustenance. This effort is compelling but remains a nice-to-have. If that changes, I’m eager to publish financial summaries as part of Patreon’s $5 membership perks to highlight interesting information on generated revenues, reinvestments, and other expansions.
So, fellow traveler, dare to wager some support here? This adventure is yours for the taking and to play a role in. Let’s imagine for a minute. Where would you like this to go? What is truly for sale here on KindredSoulSearch.com? The logic of life suggests by engaging you may offer your own soul up for sale, but neither am I the devil, nor a prophet. Engaging with this site might prompt your own soul to resonate, engage, and partake in this adventure. On Patreon then, I also posted several membership options to entice further participation to help put this effort on solid ground.
In my daytime job, I manage a team of 15, coaching them to independence and excellence and offering growth opportunities without judgment when failures happen. We all learn. We all can. We all deserve respect. Your investment on Patreon aims to make this safe space sustainably viable for everyone curious to see and actively guide wherever it goes.
I am committed to this level of care. It’s been part of my nature for a long time, perhaps even my artistry. The images and prose are my attempt to ornament my intention with honesty and integrity. Hence the five core values of KiSS are: Authenticity, Compassion, Excellence, Honesty, and Integrity.
And as for our mission statement:
Wherever that may lead. Because the world could use more of this kind of connection. And perhaps a little more magic and mystery as well. We’ll see.
Kindly,
~KindredSoul
Update December 2024: The work is done, the 12 blog posts for 2024 are complete. However, it has become clear by now that either my writing, the topic in question, or the presentation—or a combination thereof—did not foster the engagement I was hoping for. While there is nothing truly for sale on kindredsoulsearch.com, I had hoped for some sort of resonance, and this is why I may still experiment with this site occasionally.
However, I will cede commitment for regular content for 2025, and if you, dear visitor, are reading these lines in hopes to figure out what this site may still hold in stock, I am sorry to disappoint: I feel I said what I wanted to say and published what felt dear to my heart. In any case, please use the Contact form if you’d like to get in touch or have a lingering comment or thought cross your mind… I’d be truly happy to hear from you.
All the best, ~KS
Update August 2025: Ah, whateveur, as the French would say! It’s still fun, so why abandon :). The journey doesn’t seem over either yet ^^.
To WITHINfinity and beyond… catch me if you can! ~KS
Update December 2025: upon public demand, a how-to guide on my creative process is now available here.
