…and then I turned 40.

It's evening here in Missouri. I'm sitting here in my house, trying to knit pieces to an afghan, listening to the cats fight, and thinking about my last year. For grins I went and re-read the post I wrote for my 39th birthday. It makes me laugh and laugh. Oh Sarah, you had no idea …

the key

Today I'm going to tell you all a little story about a key. Honestly, I'd meant to write about it a long time ago, but all the drama involving my eye overshadowed this tale. I probably wouldn't be writing about it now, however, it's been so interesting watching people get up the courage to ask …

the first cut is the deepest

Hidey Ho, Neighbor! Can anyone name the show? Wowza, that first week of this year was a doozy. Ok, so maybe it wasn't officially the "first" week, but it was the first for me. What even is WORK? This week in a nutshell: I had an eye doctor appointment, I got strep throat, and I …

20/20: perfect vision

Recently I heard the line, "know the difference between spectacular and significant." It was said in the context of ourselves. How often do we look at others, in all their spectacular glory, and wish we were different? I don't know about you, but for me, it's a lot. I fail to recognize my own significance …

goals, direction, and starting to see light.

Seeing the light arriving Greetings, my friends! And Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is having a great and relaxing weekend.

Happy Sunday, fam! We did it. We've made it to what I'm beginning to think is the most pivotal day of the week. To be totally honest, I don't really like Sundays. The weekend is over and I start stressing over the week to come. For the longest time I used to (and sometimes still …

everything ok?

Peonies in my neighborhood...so gorgeous. Hello, friends! Did everyone have a good weekend? I certainly did. I didn't do anything special. It was just relaxing. Who all watched the Game of Thrones finale? I might be the lone ranger in this opinion, but I liked it. I went into this last season with no preconceived …

but then I stopped.

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN, Physical video, circa 1981-82 I'm writing this during the day. ON MY LUNCH BREAK. Yeah, I still can't get over that. 🙂 So this morning I did something that I wanted to write about. You want to know what it was? I didn't go to the gym and I didn't feel guilty about …

Soft.

It's been a week since I admitted to you all that I'm struggling with stress and anxiety. Truth be told, I've been struggling for a while but it's just gotten to the point that I didn't feel I could handle it without help. So I've made changes. I've tried several changes in lifestyle this week. …

2018…let it go (queue Elsa.)

I'm typing this post in the throws of a massive cold/flu/grossest junk EVER mess.  Knowing that, it's safe for me to say that 2018 can just keep on trucking right out the door.  HOWEVER...this year was one I won't forget: the good, the bad, and what's to come... Let's start off with the bad and …
