To Cut or Not to Cut
I’m sorry, readers. I have nothing to offer you at the moment. No words of wisdom, or stories of personal revelation. No thought provoking enigmas or tales of triumph. With this post, I’m hoping you might have something to offer me. I need advice! The blogging gods have not been speaking to me lately. I […]

Five Uplifting Songs

Why I am a Pain in the Butt and Like it That Way
I am the biggest pain in the butt I know. My medical doctor, veterinarian, and dentist would agree. It’s not that I’m rude or disrespectful to them. It’s that, unlike the majority of the people they deal with, I ask questions. Questions like: Why are you prescribing my cat an antibiotic when she only has […]
Dear Diet
Dear Diet, I’m writing this letter to let you know that I am leaving you forever. We’ve been together on and off for years, and, let’s face it; things haven’t been good. When I met you, I was hopeful that you would be the one to make me happy, but it wasn’t long until things […]
My Kind of Mother
It is my belief that before we come into the world, we choose our parents. The ones that we choose may not always say the right thing, or do the right thing–they may not be perfect–but we choose them still, because they are the only ones who can help us understand much of what we […]
Introverts Anonymous
My name is Sarah, and I am an introvert. I am generally quiet, soft spoken and have little to say. Though I enjoy the company of close friends, I prefer solitude. When I’m in a large-group settings, I tend to stick to the sidelines and still find my energy quickly drained by such events. Being […]
Still
It’s that scary moment when you feel sadness without self-pity When you embrace the pain, but have no desire to dwell in it When you let it pass over you, without claiming you It’s that scary moment that you know you are more than this pain When you seek awareness over numbness Love over destruction […]
Kreativ Blogger Award
A big thanks to glutenvygirl for nominating me for the Kreativ Blogger Award! She writes a great blog that is fun, unique and made to cure gluten envy. First of all, I want to say that I know these awards can kind of become a bit like a chain letter, and I will never be […]
Knowledge without Action
Since I was a child, I have had this reoccurring dream that I’m running through the neighborhood as fast as I can, jumping fence after fence after fence. It’s always clear that someone is chasing me, but I’ve never turned to see who it is. This dream reminds me of how life presents a series […]
Pause.
Before you leap out of bed in a hurry. Pause. Give thanks. Before you take a bite or a sip. Pause. Enjoy. When someone cuts you off on the way to work. Pause. Let go. After you ask ‘how are you?’ Pause. Care. As stress begins to overwhelm you. Pause. Breathe. Before you take it […]

I know these awards can get a little silly, but I’ve had my eye on this green little icon since I started blogging. A very big thank you to Angela’s Space for nominating me for The Versatile Blogger Award! Angela writes a great blog focusing on metaphysics and spirituality. I appreciate the opportunity to acknowledge […]
No Apologies: The Infinity of Prosperity
After last week’s post, What I’m Driving, What’s Driving Me, I received a message from a good friend of mine. (If you haven’t read it, I told a story about how in a serendipitous turn of events, the Universe provided for me, at a time when I really needed it). My main message was that […]

It seems while I have been neglecting my blog I have been nominated for a couple of fun awards! Thank you to A Circle in the Path for The Sunshine Award and MindMindful for the Tell Me About Yourself Award. They both have some fabulous blogs that are definitely worth checking out. I am choosing […]
What I’m Driving, What’s Driving Me
Six months ago, my husband ‘B’ entered into his first fantasy hockey league. Having spent days researching players’ statistics, he had his whole team planned out by the time it came to draft day. He had first draft pick, meaning he could solidify his most important player: Carey Price. Because it’s an internet league the […]
My God is greater, Edward is hotter, and other pointless arguments
Christian vs. Atheist; Republican vs. Democrat; M.D. vs D.C.; Vegan vs. Meat-itarian; Edward vs. Jacob. You’d think we all lived on separate planets with all of the divisions we’ve created. For some reason, we feel we have to fight these ‘versus’ wars in order to convince others of our truth. But if everyone believes that […]
Spring Cleaning: Mental EDITion
Spring is here and it’s time to clean house. I’m not talking about mopping the floors and scrubbing the bathtub, though I probably should do that too; right now I need to clean out the cobwebs from my mind. With a particularly tough year behind me, I’m going to need a really good broom! The […]
The Antidote to Anger
It is so easy to get consumed by the heat of anger. When you feel that someone has wronged you, when you feel cheated or misled, anger is often the go-to emotion. There might be satisfaction in replaying the scene again and again, and receiving validation of your experience from others around you; it might […]
